Do you know what a network security key is? Simply put, it’s the password that you need to input before your local network will allow you to connect. Think about your home network: Is there a special WiFi for everyone to use on the premises, and it’s locked so that the network isn’t flooded with passersby?

A lot of cybersecurity awareness revolves around the digital security of all your devices…but how well do you take care of their physical security?

Data breaches don’t just happen when your computer gets infected with malware or you fall for a phishing scam. How often have you done the “phone, keys, wallet” check before you leave a venue? Thieves can steal your laptop out of your bag or your phone from your pocket, too. Then, they can crack your password and steal all your data directly!

Encryption is one of the most commonly misunderstood subjects when it comes to protecting sensitive data. Even those with a basic understanding of encryption often misidentify certain components, use the wrong algorithm and fail to understand how they are used in practice. These myths and misunderstandings are not only frustrating—they can also put your personal security at risk.

The longer you go without being negatively impacted by a data breach, it’s natural to become more blasé with some of the routine steps you take to secure your devices. For example, we all use public WiFi when we’re out of the house to quickly look something up, even though we know it’s not as safe as using our locked, private home network.

Third-party risk management is a very serious and ever-more pressing need than ever before. Our monumental reliance on software as a service (SaaS) tools only grows with each new technology that we integrate into our lives, homes and workspaces.

Whether you’ve used it before or just seen it in commercials, you’ve probably heard about GoDaddy.com before. The website hosting platform manages over 76M domains around the world, making it easy for people to build, grow and market their website.

Hackers come in all shapes and sizes, with different motivations for why they do what they do. Unfortunately, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are often the target of these malicious individuals because they are seen as easier targets than large enterprises.

As technology advances, so do hackers and their skill at infiltrating networks and systems. Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can be particularly vulnerable because they often don't have a dedicated security team or ample resources to protect themselves.

There is an endless number of things a business owner should do for their business to be successful. They must develop a product or service that can attract customers, hire and train a team to oversee day-to-day operations, implement marketing strategies and so much more.
