Francis Bacon once quipped that “knowledge is power.” Your business’ security is only as good as your users, so making sure your users have the power they need to keep your information safe is key to your business’ well-being.
Security can be a lot to tackle, considering that it covers everything from locking the doors to being aware of malicious payloads embedded in unscrupulous emails.
Is fileless malware a threat to you?
There have been some truly horrifying cyber-security headlines popping up over the last month. If you’ve been reading about “fileless” malware attacking banks and other big-name institutions around the world, we’re here to set the record straight: Your business isn’t in direct danger.

But what if the “invader” is something from within. A recent survey of organizations with 250 or fewer employees revealed that 38% of them had experienced an internal IT security incident in the past year.
Do You Think IM Safe? Think Again!
Did you know that billions of instant messages (IMs) are sent each day in the United States alone? That means information of all kinds is being sent and received by your devices on a near constant basis. Some of that information is simple enough, a quick “Hey!” or “Did you see that email?”, but some of that information is more detailed… “Hey real quick, I’ve got to access this report, what’s your password?” or maybe, “Hey I’ve forgotten my password, I thought it was S3curityR!$k, am I spelling that right?”
Messages like these are being sent back and forth every day so it’s important to understand the risks of having instant communication at our fingertips.
