Losing or compromising data can be disastrous for your business. It can lead to reputational damage, costly lawsuits, and termination of contracts, among others. And because threats to data security are always present online, it's important to implement tough security measures that will keep your business data safe 24/7. Here are some tried-and-tested methods to safeguard your corporate data.

Have you ever thought about how much your data is worth? Information is possibly the most valuable part of your business – there’s your client database, accounting software and inventory management, and of course, any intellectual property you may own.

A lot of people have asked me for some super simplistic examples of Zero Trust (ZT) and why it matters. So, I have decided to create a quick explanation.

Zero Trust is a very flexible framework that should be implemented in every technical system you employ.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a universal trend of an increase in cyber-attacks as more people take their presence online for work and to connect with loved ones.

We have all made this mistake one time or another in our lives: you have been sitting in front of your computer working diligently to meet a deadline, and a wave of relief comes crashing over you as you hit that save button.

You have finally decided to outsource your IT needs to a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to reduce outgoing costs and increase your network’s security. Before you sign any contracts, continue reading this article where I shed light on the all-too-common pitfalls to avoid when selecting an MSP.

Choosing the right MSP for all your IT needs is a decision of great magnitude. You are about to share your highly-sensitive data with a third party, you are entrusting them to resolve any and all technical and hardware issues in a timely manner so business can resume seamlessly, and you are relying on them to protect your business from unexpected disasters, threats, and attacks on your network.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) appears to be back in the saddle again, as attackers use simple social engineering and domain impersonation to trick victims into paying up. BEC is a sophisticated scam targeting businesses working with foreign suppliers and/or businesses that regularly perform wire transfer payments.

Those are the three operating words: if done right. This takes effort on the part of both the business and the remote employee.
