Let me give you some background to our company's setup. Jumbo Book Store is a company based in Thailand. It has three book stores and a warehouse next to one of the book shops. The store manager, Amiki Sukhon, finds it very difficult to track sales because he uses handwritten sales reports that employees prepare every day. The driver takes the reports and delivers them to the main office. Every day it takes 5 to 6 hours to compile data about the sales. Based on these sales reports, Amiki writes purchase orders for new books, sales figures for the owner and customer information for the marketing department. In addition, he often gets calls from customers complaining about poor information about available books and stationary products in the warehouse. Could you spend some time looking at how we can improve our processes? Regards

TO: All Employees From: IT Director Subject: Online transactions security We are developing new website security features. We will have a virtual private network with a firewall which will help stop cyber attacks on the network perimeter. The web application protection firewall (WAF) will protect our website from hacker attacks on customer contacts and login boxes. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) will create a secure connection for the users. We will have two-factor authentication (2FA). Website administrators will go through two layers of security before they access the hosting environment. This will prevent password leaks. All data will have encrypted backup to protect sensitive information. I am sure the company will benefit from the new security measures. Thank you Hamda Banna 1 2 3 4 5 6

Dear Agatha Following our meeting last week, please find my recommendations for your business. I think you (1) set up a LAN, or Local Area Network, and a WAN, or Wide Area Network, for your needs. A (2) connects devices over a small area, for example your apartment and the shop. In addition, you should connect office (3) , such as the printer, scanner and fax machine, to your LAN because you can then share these devices between users. I'd recommend that we connect the LAN to a (4) . so you can link to the Internet and sell your products. In addition, I'd (5) _ we set up a Virtual Private Network so that you have a (6) access to your company's LAN, when you travel. (7) is a private network that uses a public network, usually the (8) , to connect remote sites or users together. Let's meet on Friday to discuss these recommendations. Best regards Katharina

Language Giving reasons
We use because to say something was the reason for an action or situation. (We can start a sentence with because.)
Speaking
You should connect office equipment to the LAN because you can then share devices between users. I'd recommend a Dell computer because it is cheaper. Why do you use encryption? Because it's safer.

Range Wireless networks have limited range. Network range depends on the type of 802.11 protocol, strength of the device transmitter and the architecture of the surrounding area. Some structures, such as walls and metal frames, reduce the range of a WLAN by 2 5 % . However, users can extend the range of a WLAN. Repeaters forward the wireless signal to access points or routers and increase the range of a network. Speed Bandwidth and latency are the measures of computer network speed, or data transfer rate. Bandwidth is the maximum throughput of data in bits per second. Some modems support 100 Gbit/s but speed depends on the hardware and software used. Latency is the delay that network creates during the transfer data. Users have no, or very little, control over bandwidth and latency.

security
All employees must follow security and safety procedures approved by the management. 1 Only install and use software that the management has approved. Install the latest antivirus and antispyware tools. Keep current with security software updates and patches. Follow office health and safety standards. 2 Choose a password that is difficult to guess: use between 6 and 8 characters, have letters in upper and lower case and intermix letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. Keep your password private. Change your password every 9 weeks. 3 Configure your email software to use secure protocols. Use company official e-mail software only. Always double check that you are sending your message to the right recipient. Do not send sensitive data over the network. Use mail encryption to send sensitive data. Do not download unknown files or files for private use, such as movies and music. 4 Transfer files via a secure connection. Back up files regularly on the server in your homefolder. Do not use external drives. 5 Employees must notify their supervisor or IT help desk about any damage, misuse, irregularities or security breaches.
