More Secure

Have you felt more secure from cyber attacks because you have a smaller business? Maybe you thought that you couldn’t possibly have anything that a hacker could want? Didn’t think they even knew about your small business.

Many small businesses make the mistake of skipping policies. They feel that things don’t need to be so formal. They’ll just tell staff what’s expected when it comes up and think that’s good enough.

Few things invoke instant panic like a missing smartphone or laptop. These devices hold a good part of our lives. This includes files, personal financials, apps, passwords, pictures, videos, and so much more.

Phishing. It seems you can’t read an article on cybersecurity without it coming up. That’s because phishing is still the number one delivery vehicle for cyberattacks.

The IT infrastructure keeps witnessing changes due to new trends and practices. As such, there is a need to create a balance in the organisation’s IT and adapt to newer technologies. One of these is password security. For decades, the accepted authentication form for many organisations has been using passwords and usernames.

SaaS has given many significant benefits over the years... and challenges as well. SaaS security and management has become critically important that if left unchecked, can cause productivity loss, recovery, and legal costs to name a few to our clients.

No matter what else is going on in the cybersecurity world, it seems that phishing is always the number one topic. This is because it’s still the main conduit used to spread a wide variety of different attacks.

In today’s security climate threats have only become more sophisticated. They use machine learning and artificial intelligence to seek out areas of vulnerabilities in networks and devices and spread rapidly.
