Cyber insurance provides a critical hedge against financial losses stemming from cyberattacks, but these policies have become more expensive and difficult to obtain. Following years of increasingly sophisticated and expensive attacks and breaches, insurers are raising premiums and imposing stricter security requirements in efforts to reduce their exposure.

Mounting cybersecurity challenges are driving strong demand for managed security services.

It’s a perfect storm for IT security professionals. The combination of rapidly expanding attack surfaces, a worsening skills shortage and an array of increasingly sophisticated threats is making cybersecurity a nearly impossible challenge.

DR-as-a-Service provides infrastructure, processes and expertise in a subscription-based model.

Organizations depend upon the around-the-clock availability of mission-critical IT systems — and that creates tremendous risk to the business. Disasters can and will occur, whether caused by human error, power interruptions, fire, water damage or weather-related events.

Educators today have a wealth of digital teaching tools at their disposal, but that has become something of a double-edged sword. While teachers can use the tools to enhance the classroom experience in many exciting ways, maintaining a working knowledge of multiple rapidly evolving technologies can become exasperating.

Microsoft doesn’t need your charity. The world’s second-largest company has a market capitalization of about $2.5 trillion, and some analysts believe it will soon become the world’s first $5 trillion company. However, if you are among the millions of Microsoft 365 users, you’re probably giving the company more money than you should.

Microsoft 365 is among the world’s most popular Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, with some 345 million users worldwide. Analysts estimate that companies using the suite of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools collectively generate a whopping 100 petabytes of data each month — much of which is extremely sensitive information that could lead to serious financial, legal and operational damage if lost or compromised.

Wireless networking is a critical feature of the modern workplace, with nearly half of all business Internet traffic now being carried on Wi-Fi networks. However, achieving and maintaining optimal performance is usually an ongoing challenge. As much as a third of the world’s Wi-Fi networks experience regular performance issues, according to one recent study.

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.
