Because humans are the greatest security vulnerability, organizations should educate employees to spot common forms of cyberattack.

Many small to midsize enterprises (SMEs) continue to operate under the misconception that they’re too small to be hacked.

Both techniques give organizations insight into the health of their networks to ensure reliability and optimal performance.

Network performance and availability affect virtually every area of an organization. The employee experience. The customer experience.

The integration of technology into classrooms has transformed the educational experience. Unfortunately, it has also opened the schoolhouse doors to electronic intrusion by hackers, crooks and thieves. According to one new study, ransomware attacks targeting K-12 schools grew by an astonishing 827 percent in 2022. Phishing, malware and denial-of-service attacks also increased substantially.

It’s like we aren’t even trying anymore.

Despite years of repeated warnings, millions of Americans rely on preposterously simple passwords that offer little or no security for critical data and systems. NordPass’s annual list of the 200 most-common passwords includes such gems as “password,” “123456,” “guest,” “qwerty” and “111111.” Researchers note that 83 percent of the passwords on that list can be cracked in less than one second.

Unified communications (UC) plays an essential role in supporting hybrid and remote work by enabling a seamless and cohesive communication experience across various devices and locations. However, implementing UC presents some challenges. Integrating voice, video, messaging and collaboration applications requires careful planning and configuration to ensure seamless interoperability and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Conventional wisdom says that cloud computing is the ideal IT model for businesses. In practice, the model doesn’t always deliver the expected benefits.

Cloud services enable unprecedented scalability and flexibility while reducing the total cost of ownership of the IT infrastructure.

How small businesses are leveraging artificial intelligence to become more efficient and competitive.

There is a tendency to think of artificial intelligence (AI) as a highly advanced technology suitable only for large enterprise organizations with well-staffed teams of data experts and IT engineers.

Passwordless authentication goes mainstream as organizations seek relief from chronic password problems.

Passwords have long represented the first line of defense against unauthorized access to networks, online accounts and sensitive data. But here’s the industry’s not-so-secret secret: Passwords don’t really work anymore — and they haven’t for quite some time.

It is difficult to overstate the importance of reliable wireless connectivity in a work-from-anywhere world. Organizations must support more wireless users, devices and applications than ever, and analysts say total Wi-Fi traffic is doubling every three years.

Recent research shows an alarming 84 percent increase in reported cyberattacks against the education sector over the past six months. Recent high-profile victims include some of the largest K-12 school districts in the country, including the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Minneapolis Public School District and Chicago Public Schools.
