ModernBiz – Make Technology a Business Advantage
The right technology can be a major differentiator for small and midsize businesses. Modernizing your IT infrastructure can set you apart from your competitors, whatever size they may be. A recent study from Boston Consulting Group found that technology leaders – defined as businesses who adopt new technology early, far out perform their peers in the marketplace. They create jobs almost twice as fast as other small and midsize businesses, and they increase annual revenues 15% faster than their peers.

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2977629)
This security update resolves one publicly disclosed and thirty-six privately reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles objects in memory, and by adding additional permission validations to Internet Explorer.
This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6 through Internet Explorer 11 on affected Windows clients, and Moderate for Internet Explorer 6 through Internet Explorer 11 on affected Windows servers.
