Imagine getting an email from a recruiter offering you a dream job, with better pay, flexible hours, and even a corner office with a view!
The email sender and style looks legitimate, with a polished signature and a company logo heading the message. You’re flattered, and maybe even tempted to click the link to “learn more.”
Although we have so many ways to talk to each other from all around the world, email still remains a cornerstone of our personal and professional lives.
Like many digital communications platforms, however, people have developed more and more concerns about privacy and data security. Therefore we must protect our online communications, both in transit to its recipient and while it sits in your inbox, too.
With threat actors going after organizations of all different sizes, each and every one of us must beware cyberattacks aimed at stealing our private data. Traditional security measures, like passwords and even less-secure methods of multi-factor authentication, often fail under hackers’ pressure.
Introduction
Data breaches are a big enough worry. From leaked data on the Dark Web to stolen financial information, the consequences of a compromised network stretch far.
That’s not the only concern, though. The downtime during a data breach can cause panic and stress for everyone involved.

Automation is rapidly transforming workplaces across all different industries. From simple software tools to advanced robotics, many workplaces have implemented automated systems as an integral part of their daily operations.

Introduction
Ten or twenty years ago, it was common for accounts with extremely personal information on them to ask you to create a security question.
Think about your first social media account. The log-in for your current medical provider.
If you’re still running Windows 10 on your business machines, let’s cut to the chase: The clock is ticking.
On October 14, 2025, Microsoft is officially ending support for Windows 10. That means no more security patches, no more bug fixes and no more technical support.
You set it. You forget it. And just like that, while you’re packing for vacation, your inbox starts automatically broadcasting:
“Hi there! I’m out of the office until [date]. For urgent matters, please contact [coworker’s name and e-mail].”
Sounds harmless, right? Convenient, even.
If you’re only talking to your IT provider when you renew your contract, you’re doing it wrong.
Technology isn’t a “set it and forget it” part of your business. It’s constantly evolving, and so are the threats that come with it. That’s why quarterly IT check-ins are nonnegotiable if you want your business to stay protected, productive and competitive.
