Southern Tier Brewing Company is a rapidly growing craft brewer that's been ranked among the world's top-100 breweries every year for the past ten years. When Joseph joined the team as IT manager the ending of support for Microsoft Exchange Small Business Server (SBS) was only a few months away, so he needed to take immediate action.

Kerio has released updated versions of Kerio Connect, Kerio Control UTM and Kerio Operator PBX with fixed OpenSSL vulnerability. Kerio advises all of its customers to change their passwords and revoke old SSL encryption certificates.

Despite all of the fanfare over Google Glass, at the end of the day work needs to get done, and as of 8:00 this morning, we are still going to dive into our inboxes.
