So you’ve tapped a bad link on your phone

We’ve all done it – tapped a link, realised it’s not what we thought it was, and then wondered what damage it might cause to our phone. First of all, don’t panic. But then, take action. There are two things you need to be aware of now. And our new video tells you what they are.

OneDrive saves the day as your portable scanner

There you are, working from home and getting things done, until suddenly… you need to print, sign and scan a document. You’ve got a printer, so that’s OK. But no scanner. That’s annoying.

The data security equivalent of leaving your windows open

We all take great care to keep our homes secure.

Yet some business owners and managers don’t have the same attitude towards their business’s data security.

Which is crazy. Because there are a lot more people trying to access your business’s data, than hoping to steal your TV.

Here are four key ways to improve your business’s data security.

How to spot a ransomware attack before proper damage is done

One of the most terrifying things that can happen to your business is a ransomware attack.

This is where hackers take control of your network and encrypt all your data, making it unusable. They won’t undo the damage unless you pay a big fee – a ransom fee.

The reason they can do so much damage is they secretly break in to your system a long time before the attack is launched. The one upside of this is you can keep an eye out for symptoms you’ve been breached.

Here are three ways you can see if hackers are already in your system.

Which of these phishing scams have you heard of?

You’ve heard of phishing, we’re sure. It’s where criminals send you an email, pretending to be someone else (like your bank), to try to get sensitive information from you.

But what about vishing? And smishing? And whaling?

These are all forms of phishing designed to steal your information, and ultimately your money.

We explore each one in our brand new video. Because the more aware you and your staff are; the better protected you’ll be.

Why your new PC is slowed down by bloatware.

This is called bloatware. And it will slow down your computer. Our new video shows why bloatware is on your computer, and what to do about it.

Preparing to return to your workplace

The lockdown is still in force right now. But have you started planning, for when your staff can return to the workplace?

There are three key areas to consider. See what they are in this brand new short video.

Keep your data safe when staff use their own devices

Because we have to work from home for now, your team are probably using their own devices.

Which is fine… so long as your business’s data security isn’t compromised in any way.

That’s a big ask. Especially if your staff are sharing their devices with other members of the family.

We’ve created a brand new video highlighting seven golden rules for keeping your business’s data safe.

A password manager makes your business secure + life easier for your staff. At the same time

Easy passwords are embarrassingly easy to crack. It’s almost embarrassing how easy it is for hackers to crack them, using automated tools. But the problem is that strong passwords generated randomly, are far too difficult for normal humans to remember. You need something to help.
That’s where a password manager can help you.
