You have likely heard of recent online security threats called Cryptolocker and Gameover Zeus, which have created havoc for millions recently. The FBI says that instances of both threats and malware like it are on the rise, and we at TekLinks have noticed an increasing number of incidents related to it. It can take hours or even days to remediate these threats and some cases result in data loss, so please take considerable caution to protect yourself, your users, and your data.

Over the next few days, a final few of TekLinks 300 employees will receive at their homes a gift box from our Leadership Team. What's the gift box about? Knoxville's Technical Account Manager Kyle McClain said it best on Twitter:

"Feeling loved. Glad to be a part of the new @TekLinks. #bettertogether @ClarisNtwrks"

Note: Sept. 22 was American Business Women's Day, which nationally recognizes the accomplishments of businesswomen of diverse occupations.

Music was her calling at age 20. The talented singer had planned to be a choral director.

There’s rarely a workday that goes by at TekLinks’ newly acquired Claris Networks’ offices during which at least one of our teammates doesn’t email the entire staff a “Mad Props” about a co-worker who has shown leadership, invested in the lives of others, or done what is right no matter the circumstance.
