Introduction

It’s almost New Year’s! You’ve almost made it through another tumultuous year full of cybersecurity threats and defenses. Whether used for good or evil, each new technological marvel must fight to stay ahead of their opposition.

Power outages are a huge inconvenience to businesses. They can lead to lost productivity and revenue, and they can cost you a lot in damages. That’s why it’s important for businesses like yours to invest in an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). Let’s take a closer look at some of the key reasons why every business should have a UPS system in place.

Botnets have been around since 2004, when the first one was discovered and branded Bagle. The worm was designed to inundate Windows computers with spam, and it was a prototype — an infant form of what botnets would one day become. Your I.T. security team probably wouldn’t see Bagle as much of a threat these days!

Now botnets are capable of infecting a massive number of machines and honing them toward one purpose.

Plenty of businesses, regardless of size, use internet phones. But although Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems are quickly becoming the norm, many business owners don’t realize that these systems are vulnerable to attack if they are not properly secured.

Although we now enjoy much faster internet speeds and improved Wi-Fi reliability in comparison to years past, Wi-Fi technology isn’t perfect. Here are some common problems you might encounter while using Wi-Fi and how you can fix them.

Slow internet speed

If you’re experiencing slow internet speeds, try plugging your laptop directly into your router with an Ethernet cable.

Businesses have a lot to worry about, and disaster recovery (DR) is often one of their top concerns. Unfortunately, many business owners are misled by misinformation and so end up not implementing the right precautionary measures to protect their data.

They say, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time," but what happens when cybercriminals decide to commit their own version of double jeopardy? Instead of sentencing convicts to twice the jailtime, though, hackers often target people who are incarcerated and steal their identities.

You may have heard about Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams before, which are a type of phishing threat meant to trick you into giving up private company information by posing as a professional associate. In other words, someone pretending to be your supervisor asks for an end-of-day report.

If you’re like the majority of Americans, you probably work from home at least some of the week. These days, you may not come into the office at all. In fact, more than 58% of the country’s workforce currently has a hybrid (trades off days in the office and at home) or fully remote (works only from home) schedule.
