I help Executives understand and eliminate their known cybersecurity risks while protecting their data, reducing unknown risks and using technology to keep their team productive.
You probably have heard about phishing.
It occurs when someone impersonates another person and sends you a fake email. They are counting on you to open a harmful attachment or click a malicious link.
We’re all familiar with USB. After all we’ve been using it with our computers since 1996, and now with mobile devices too.
Yes… it’s really been that long.
Without USB it would be harder to connect different types of devices, charge them, and transfer data.
Cyber criminals have a reputation for constantly coming up with new ways to scam us into handing over login details or sensitive data.
And while you might think your team would spot an attempted attack, you could be surprised. We’ve seen a lot of intelligent people – including many business leaders – caught out over the years.
One of the latest scams is very retro… and that seems to be why people are falling for it.
There are hundreds of thousands of browser extensions designed to help us to save time, be more productive, and personalize our online experience.
And while the majority of them do what they’re supposed to, some are not designed to help you at all…
If you’re unfortunate enough to download a malicious browser extension without realizing, it could harm your productivity and even flood your work with unwanted advertising.
This is known as adware. It’s a form of malware (malicious software) that’s designed to bombard you with unwanted adverts.
Video calls have swiftly emerged as a vital tool for communication. However, a lot of people have a subpar video call setup, including unflattering camera angles, inadequate lighting, and unprofessional sound.
Back in May, we heard there would soon be a successor to the password – the Passkey.
Now, we’re hearing that Apple will start rolling out Passkeys in the next few months in iOS 16. And we’re excited.
Though it’s caused a bit of confusion. Apple is going to great lengths to market the Passkey, and understandably, people have assumed that it’s a feature exclusive to Apple.
There’s no denying the Windows 11 has a lot of really cool new features.
If you haven’t made the move from Windows 10 yet, you’re missing out.
But there’s good news. To make the (eventual) move from Windows 10 to 11 a little easier, Microsoft is sharing a couple of 11’s most useful features.
Have you ever been on a video call, and the other person's video quality looks and sounds BAD?
They might be looking at a laptop webcam (never a great angle). And because they are poorly lighted, they appear to be criminals. Also, they could be using a cheap microphone that gives off the impression that they are making a poor phone call?
Phishing scams are one of the biggest security threats to your business right now.
A massive 83% of organizations said they suffered successful attacks last year. And with just under a third of phishing emails being opened, the chances that someone in your business will be fooled are high.
But to make matters more difficult, cyber criminals have borrowed a technique from ransomware groups that is designed to panic people into acting and giving away their login details.
This new kind of phishing attack begins like most others.
Working from home. Or remote working, as it’s now called.
It’s the big thing in business, isn’t it? And some people love it.
They’re happier working where they want, and when they want. And that makes them more productive and less likely to leave.
But have you stopped to consider the downside to remote working? The negative elements for your business and your people?
