Submitted by Dave Ockwell-Jenner on

If I had a dollar for every time a small business concluded that cyber attacks wouldn't target them, I'd be a rich man! Even now in 2019, there is a strong headwind of thought that small businesses aren't targeted by cyber attackers because they aren't a 'juicy enough' target.

Flyer Delivery Early Lessons - A Cautionary Tale

Submitted by Steve Orr on

ADOPTING MULTI FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Submitted by Chris Davis on

As an IT solution provider, I feel it is important to try and or use everything that I recommend to my clients.  Doesn’t matter if it is hardware, software or processes if I wouldn’t use it, I won’t sell it.  One of my business goals for 2019 is to re-evaluate and add-on to my layered security package and make sure it is still covering all possible threats to protect my clients’ data.
