The numbers paint a disturbing picture of the current state of cybercrime. During one average day in 2023, researchers say, the world can expect to see:
3.4 billion phishing emails
300,000 malware infections
22,500 distributed denial of service attacks
2,328 data breaches
Faced with this relentless onslaught, organizations have had to accept that it is no longer possible to prevent every attack.
Boost IT security with a layered approach combining multiple tools and solutions.
Elephant calves in the wild are protected by the herd, which will circle the calf in order to fend off lions, hyenas, crocodiles and other predators. The huge size and coordinated action of the adult elephants creates a defensive ring that successfully discourages attacks.
Cost, security and talent remain limiting factors for cloud adoption, according to a new study.
The cloud is not merely a mainstream computing model — it is the basis for nearly every essential business technology initiative. That’s why the vast majority of organizations are aggressively pursuing public, private and hybrid cloud strategies to meet their future IT needs.
Surging levels of cybercrime cost the global economy more than $8 trillion in 2022 — and most experts think the worst is yet to come.
Ninety-three percent of cybersecurity leaders and 86 percent of business leaders believe that a “far-reaching, catastrophic cyber event” is likely to occur within the next two years, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2023 Global Cybersecurity Outlook.
In our last two posts, we discussed the telephony limitations of Microsoft Teams and how to resolve them through integration with the RingCentral telephony platform. In this post, we’ll take a look at your deployment options — and a new update that makes the process faster and easier than ever.
Microsoft Teams is the world’s most popular business communications and collaboration service, but as we noted in our last post, the platform has considerable limitations when it comes to telephony. It’s why 85 percent of Teams users surveyed by the Cavell Group report that they leverage a third-party telephony partner instead of using a Microsoft calling plan.
Hundreds of millions of users rely on Microsoft Teams to communicate and collaborate with colleagues, partners and customers. However, telephony limitations are perhaps the platform’s most pronounced shortcoming.
Voice calling was not a high priority when Teams was launched in 2016 — the platform was designed to support workplace collaboration with chat, video conferencing, file sharing and application integration features.
Approaching end-of-support deadline for Windows Server 2012 opens the door for modernization.
Extended support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 ends on Oct. 10, 2023. After that date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for the server operating system.
AI tools crack passwords in seconds. How password managers can help.
It is increasingly evident that passwords are no longer entirely adequate for securing network resources — research continually reveals that the vast majority of data breaches stem from weak or compromised passwords.
In the rapidly shifting world of business technology, new workloads, complex network requirements and evolving cyber threats can overwhelm resource-constrained IT organizations. That’s why an estimated two-thirds of U.S. businesses partner with managed services providers (MSPs) to keep their IT environments operating at peak efficiency.
