Right now, documents of all kinds are zipping across the world, from one computer to another, from one outbox to another inbox — some documents sensitive and some, not so sensitive.
With so many people now working remotely, many are using…
Apparently the challenges today with businesses struggling for life and people fighting to make ends meet amid these Coronavirus-related shutdowns are just not enough. Bad actors are now trying to infect computers and networks with electronic…

They say hindsight is 20/20. If you are not familiar with the saying, it generally means it’s easier to comprehend something once it has already happened. the saying is typically said in response to a criticism that the person should have…
Keeping your organization safe from cyberattacks is becoming an ever more challenging feate in this age of internet connectivity, viruses and talented and innovative hackers.
This is especially true for small and medium-sized businesses as…
It’s as true in the business world as it is in life, if not truer — time is money. But ever increasingly, data is money too, especially when it comes to downtime due to lost business data.
Bad stuff happens, even in business.
As we all know…
It’s important network users know how to identify social engineering emails — otherwise known as a phishing email.
Why? Because one click on a bad link or one download of an infected attachment could bring a whole network down and wreck a business…

Firewalls, email filters, antivirus software and other security measures are great for protecting your network environment from outside threats, but your greatest cyber threat could be within your organization … and has network access…
Most business networks run invisibly until the moment they don’t. Files open, email flows, applications respond, and nobody thinks about the routers, switches, and firewalls quietly moving all that traffic — right up until a switch fails, an internet circuit drops, or a misconfigured firewall blocks half the office from
The business phone system rarely gets attention until it fails — and then it gets all of it at once. A dropped call with a major client, a phone tree that routes customers into voicemail purgatory, a new office that can’t get lines installed for weeks: communication problems interrupt revenue
Cyber threats have moved from “if” to “when” for businesses of every size. Attackers scanning networks for weak spots don’t discriminate by industry, revenue, or headcount — they’re looking for vulnerabilities, and any business connected to the internet ends up on someone’s target list eventually. The businesses that recover cleanly
Physical mail hasn’t gone away. Invoices, statements, notices, contracts, appeals, marketing pieces, court filings, patient communications, and regulatory correspondence still move by mail in enormous volumes across every industry. The volume shows up on the operations side as labor, on the postage bill as expense, and on the budget as
Every few months a new headline lands about a firewall breach, and the natural reaction is to ask, “Are we exposed?” The latest one—an exposure researchers are calling FortiBleed—is worth your attention, but not for the reason most coverage suggests. The real story isn’t a single vendor’s stumble. It’s that the legacy VPN
Documents are the connective tissue of every business. Invoices, contracts, HR records, patient charts, client files, board materials, regulatory filings — every department generates them, every process depends on them, and every audit examines them. When the systems managing all that volume break down, the friction touches everything: approvals stall,
Print costs are notoriously hard to pin down. Nobody on the leadership team can ever say with confidence what the business is actually spending on printing each month — and the answer, when somebody finally digs in, is usually far higher than anyone expected. Toner sits unused on shelves while
When IT systems fail, business doesn’t slow down — it stops. Email goes silent. Files become unreachable. Phones drop. Customers wait. Every minute of downtime carries a cost, and every minute of recovery pulls focus away from the work that’s supposed to be happening. Managed IT exists to keep that
Phone systems don’t get a lot of attention until they stop working. Then they get everyone’s attention at once. For businesses still running aging phone infrastructure — or cobbling together communication tools that were never designed to work together — the cost of inaction shows up in dropped calls, missed
