Recently, our working methods have changed significantly. Pandemics have resulted in widespread remote working practices being adopted by businesses; yet opinions on which path should be taken differ significantly between firms.

Some companies may want their workforce back into the office quickly while others prefer keeping things flexible. It's time to examine your overall business strategy; what works and what doesn't; and which elements need your focus?

Working from home can be an excellent choice. Without commute, interruptions and the possibility to catch up on some laundry between meetings, it offers more productivity, improved work-life balance and reduces stress for many employees.

Let me ask you something: Do you lock your front door when you leave the house?

Of course you do.

But what if you get home and find that someone left a window open? You may as well have left the door unlocked, right?

Now think about your business.

You’ve probably invested in good cyber security to protect it, using strong passwords, firewalls, and the latest software updates. But if your employees accidentally leave the “windows” open, all that security goes to waste.

It’s not about blame – it’s about awareness. The truth is that your employees might be your biggest security risk, without them even realizing it.

Cybersecurity must be prioritized in an age characterized by technological innovation. Organizations and businesses relying heavily on IT for operations are more vulnerable to cyber threats due to this dependency, making cyber attacks all the more likely.

66% of small businesses are concerned about cyber risk. 47% lack the know-how necessary to effectively defend themselves, leaving them open to high-cost attacks.

Convincing decision makers of the value of cybersecurity initiatives may prove challenging. Executives want tangible data that justifies their spending decisions.

We will examine ways of demonstrating the tangible advantages of cybersecurity to demonstrate its benefits for your compa...

Have you been considering how Artificial Intelligence (AI) could enhance the efficiency and productivity of your business?

There's just one problem. Recent research uncovered an intriguing yet not unexpected reality: There exists an AI/workplace trust gap.

Your employees may be concerned and wary about AI even if you believe it can transform their job or your business.

Here's a brief glimpse of our results:

AI has the support of 62% of executives in the C-suite but only 52% employees. When AI implementation begins, 23% of workers feel uncertain if their employer will remain committed to meeting employee needs.
But 70% of business leaders believe AI must be used alongside human intervention and r...

Your organization will grow over time, as will the amount of data sent daily to employees via email. Email is the lifeblood of your business: proposals, contracts, IP details and customer records may all pass through it - but are you fully in control of all this sensitive data?

Poor management of how employees access and manage work communications is one of the major weaknesses for many large companies. But why?

Although combining work and personal email may appear convenient, doing so presents serious risks to your business.

Transparency of Your Data Gmail does not permit IT departments to have a centralized view or administration over how business files are stored, transmitted, or accessed b...

New research has unlocked an unexpected facet of cyber security risks: your younger employees who possess technological proficiency could be your biggest exposure.

Are You Shocked? Let's Get Down to Business

Survey results were alarming: Over 6,500 employees worldwide were polled with an even distribution across demographics.

Study results revealed that younger office workers (those aged 40 or under) are more likely to disregard basic password safety rules and use their birth dates as passwords, while only 19% used this tactic among those over 40!

And it doesn't stop there.

Young workers were more likely to use the same password across multiple devices than any other age group; 38% admitted doing...

Particular care must be taken with cyber security training if your workforce comprises employees between 16-19.

New research demonstrates that many young people have accepted as normal online behaviors which are concerning. Unfortunately, many of these activities may be illegal.

This type of cybercrime does not involve ransomware or data theft.

One-third of 16-19 year-olds admit to digital piracy - such as downloading illegal movies or hacking an account online to harass someone - at some point during their life.

Most of these behaviors will not directly harm your business; some are so widespread that many young people consider them part of everyday life.

Do not allow your employees to bring any ...

Gen Z and some Millennial employees may not possess the technological proficiency that employers would like to see; this causes employers to experience feelings of 'tech-shame'.

Young workers raised on Snapchat, TikTok and Minecraft may lack the necessary skillsets for transitioning successfully into an office setting.

Recent research has revealed that one out of every five employees between 18-29 years old feel judged when facing technical problems at work, as opposed to only 1 in 25 employees over 40.

As is often the case in workplace environments with remote workers or mixed roles, better training should be offered to all employees - not only newcomers. Gen Zers may have come of age during t...

Many employers mistakenly believe their employees cannot perform at their best without physically being present at work, yet managers can struggle with adapting to this new hybrid world. Unfortunately, this perception is far from being reality.

Research indicates that remote and hybrid work arrangements can often result in significant productivity gains; yet many organizations continue to impose office-only working policies.

Employers may feel unprepared to deal with the aftermath of recent years, and hope productivity will rebound after pandemic outbreak.

This could be seen as an antidote, since hybrid workers have demonstrated greater morale and creativity compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The Dark Web is an important hub of illicit activities. Even legitimate businesses cannot ignore its presence entirely. In this article we'll outline its details, and show why monitoring its millions of pages could prove advantageous.

In the mid-1990s, the US government established the Dark Web to allow spies and other intelligence agencies to exchange information freely. Journalists and law enforcement agencies still utilize it today; additionally it may also be utilized by people living in countries which restrict open communication.

The Dark Web is an online space where illegal activities take place, such as counterfeit money trading and child pornography. Users may also access counterfeit ...
