This is the ultimate secret to keeping your business data safe

Hackers are targeting all businesses, all the time. Using clever automated tools, and by sending out billions of emails every day.

Is it time to upgrade your phone system?

These days, there are two main technologies to choose from.

Let me explain them so you can pick the right one for your business.

The first is VoIP, an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol.

It's a reliable technology.

You probably don’t give your email signature much thought.

It’s there to provide your contact details and maybe boost your branding, right?

But have you ever stopped to consider exactly how much information you’re giving away? It’s enough to allow someone else to pretend to be you. Someone like a cyber criminal.

They can use this to steal from other businesses.

You may think of your email signature as a digital business card.

It lets people know the different ways they can contact you. It might also strengthen your business branding.

But have you ever stopped to think how all that information can be used for bad?

Cyber criminals can use your email signature to pretend to be you and trick others out of data or money. Likewise, you may be fooled by a genuine-looking email signature that’s not the real deal.

Our latest video explains how to make sure your email signature doesn’t put your business – or others – at risk.

Most of them, right?

Email signatures are a great way to make sure others know how to contact you. They add authenticity to your communications.

But what would happen if a cyber criminal copied your email signature? It would make it easy for them to trick people into giving away data.

Have you updated to the latest version of Windows 11 yet? If not, it’s time to act – Microsoft has announced when it will end support for older versions (and it’s soon!).

When you think of cyber security you might automatically think it’s a problem for IT support.

But in reality, it’s something that every single person in your business should be responsible for.

Why? Because a cyber attack can catch anyone out at any time.

Cyber criminals target all businesses all the time.

That means you and your team will be better protected if you make security a whole business concern, and not just an “IT thing”.

Every single person in your business should understand the risks, and importantly, how to avoid them.

More businesses are seeing the value of cyber security training, and that’s great.

But still too many view it as a one-and-done exercise.

If there’s one thing we know about cyber crime, it’s that it’s constantly evolving. And that means if you want to stay up to date on the latest threats, your training needs to be regular.
