Abstract
Destination Management issue has evolved towards the multiple concepts adoption that allow a more efficient coordination of its diverse manifestations in terms of the business potential that can be generate for the territories.
Marketing Management, in its sense of market understanding, has been allowed to adjust the offers design in function of the demand most characteristic traits, so tourist's expectations and lived experiences will contribute to transform them in real clients that will return to visit the Destination.[4][5]
Given markets globalization, Destinations, on our days, competes strongly for market shares since the differentiation determinants are becoming smaller. Accordingly, Destination Management has sought through Brand policies to revive and revitalize many Destinations which are in decline. This research work aims to evaluate, under case analysis methodology, the particular case of Guimarães city, an average European city with sufficient resources and capacities to attract national and international tourists. Thus, we sought to identify and clarify: (1) attributes, beliefs and associated perceptions that issuing markets recognize and promote with their targets; (2) the process of deciding to choose to visit this destination under test; (3) the degree of perceived quality; (4) the intention to revisit as a measure of loyalty; (5) and the core and peripheral attributes of its Brand image. The obtained results, by the quantitative study conducted, suggest that understanding values, which describe positively city brand image, impact on intention to revisit of under test sample, as well as the understanding factors of Perceive Quality of Destination offer exert a positive impact in its functional evaluation and technical quality, as well as its Promotion Quality and Communication.

Abstract
The potential of the Internet as a channel for electronic business has been recognised across many industry sectors. It is likely that business to business and business to consumer communication will be increasingly conducted via the Internet. However, while the potential of the Internet is recognised, the conditions for successful electronic business using the Internet remain to be explored in many industry sectors and different parts of the world. Issues such as organizational readiness, the suitability of the industry sector, the nature of the transactions in terms of standardisation and security, the effect of culture and the requirements for changed organizational infrastructure must be addressed, considered and locally adapted. The scope of this paper is a rich description of the factors that need to be satisfied in order to achieve cultural alignment between the organizational culture and the culture accommodated by e-business uptake.

DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-63
Abstract
With the COVID-19 Pandemic, Portuguese enterprises discover the crucial opportunity to make the difference worldwide with virtualization, using Cloud Computing technologies, however they are yet not fully convinced. Cloud security and privacy seems to be the main problems for organizations early adoption. It was possible to use a descriptive methodology, and an literature review approach to differentiate solutions, build on a simple checklist format and reveal essential arguments, that any small and medium-sized Portuguese company should take into account, before purchasing Cloud technologies adapted to its potential growth.
One of the major limitations of this study, was the inability to point out at real business environment, only using observation and scientific, technological and specialized level studies, presented here as potential result. The goal was verify if the applications or services implementation for protection and security scalability - really works.

Abstract
Nowadays, telework is increasingly seen as an issue that must be addressed importantly and that solutions are found to enhance and strengthen it. As a result, organizations are increasingly relying on hybrid models of telework and presential work. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether an objective approach in the correlation between the tools made available and employee training and awareness for good use practices will reduce the risks associated with telework.

DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-59
Abstract
A firewall is a solution for securing computer networks; it can be a software program or a hardware device that allows or inhibits access to or from a system. Firewalls are used regularly to prevent untrusted Internet-originating traffic from accessing private systems and networks. All connection requests and packets that intend to pass through the firewall are analyzed according to the configured security criteria and denied or allowed. By rule, firewalls are designed to protect against unauthorized and abusive access. This paper is intended to provide a historical background on the technological evolution of firewalls and present the concept, functionalities, benefits of use, and aspects to be taken into account when choosing and setting firewalls.
Keywords
Firewall, next-generation firewall, information security, protection, technological evolution.

DOI: 10.31112/kriativ-tech-2021-10-57
Abstract
Internet security is a topic of high importance, and in recent years it has gained greater popularity with the growing wave of DoS attacks perpetuated through TCP SYN Flood. This kind of attack has several types of motivation: political, unfair competition, human evil. It is intended to deepen the concepts related to this type of attack architecture and which vulnerabilities are exploited that possibly facilitate the success of the SYN Flood. The central attack prevention systems, IDS and IPS, are presented conceptually. A simulation of the attack in a virtually recreated environment is depicted as proof of concept and execution. In contrast, there is evidence of the greater demand and growing sophistication of the means of detection and prevention using modern technologies.
