As malware and hacking techniques continue to evolve, it’s essential to have strong security protocols in place to protect your business from unauthorized access and data theft. Surprisingly, most data breaches can be prevented by implementing the long-established security practice of network segmentation.
The digital age has ushered in numerous advancements that have radically transformed the way we live and work. Access to diverse information and resources is as simple as ever, and almost everything we do is dependent on IT — whether we’re shopping online, paying bills on our mobile phones, or sharing interesting articles with friends on WhatsApp.
The repercussions of COVID-19 have sent shockwaves through nearly every industry, affecting millions of lives. But despite popular belief, there are still organizations hiring. Now instead of showing up for an in-person interview, interviews are being conducted over video.
With the world’s largest work-from-home experiment still taking place in different parts of the globe, remote workers remain a hot target for cybercriminals. Social engineering attacks such as phishing scams are spiking, which is why it’s crucial that your business overcomes the risks that come with remote-work setups.
For many businesses that rely heavily on face-to-face interaction, the shift to remote work can seem impossible. But as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to plague the world, companies across the globe are compelled to allow their employees to work from home.
As the novel coronavirus continues to proliferate across the globe, businesses worldwide are undergoing the ultimate stress test — urgently reexamining disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
Unfortunately, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are the hardest hit.
With COVID-19 pressuring employees worldwide to work from home, organizations are quickly shifting to a remote work model and refining their emergency protocols. Unfortunately, not all businesses are prepared to adopt flexible work policies. Due to a lack of resources and insufficient knowledge on disaster preparedness, many organizations are left to suffer from the devastating effects of this global pandemic.
Thanks to greater connectedness afforded by technology, small businesses have never had more opportunities available to them than they do today. But they also face fresh challenges in an increasingly crowded market where customers are more demanding than ever.
The case for migrating your business to the cloud is enormous: much lower capital expenses, better service availability, and practically limitless scalability, just to name a few. But it also presents a substantial departure from the old ways of working, and not every business is ready for this new distributed computing model.
While it isn’t getting any easier to thrive as a small business in an increasingly competitive and globalized market, there are now many more opportunities to set you on the right track. The rising demands of customers can make prompt support and easy self-service important selling points.
