Blog / The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Cyber Loafing Acceptable Use Policies, or AUPs, typically try to address two specific elements of employee behaviour: dangerous practices and productivity. The security risks of employees browsing dangerous and unacceptable sites on company computers are clear. However, when it comes to the productivity side of things, things aren’t nearly as clear cut. There’s sometimes conflicting information from […] December 02, 2021
Blog / User Awareness is a big deal in cyber security One thing you can be sure of when it comes to criminals is that they’ll always target the weakest link they can find. You can have the best security system, alarms, bars on your windows and man-traps on your building, but if your employees are clueless about your security then all that will quickly become […] November 30, 2021
Blog / The Basics of Cloud to Cloud Backups You don’t need to be a qualified IT professional to understand that backing up your data is absolutely essential for modern organizations. It’s a bit of wisdom so well known it’s practically common knowledge. However, just because the concept is understood and the practice widespread doesn’t mean there isn’t hidden complexity. In rapidly evolving industries […] November 29, 2021
Blog / Do you have a next generation firewall? Although it’s a technical and challenging topic, there are certain things about cyber security that are considered common knowledge.

This is virtually universally understood (though it’s somewhat less accepted wisdom for Apple or Linux devices). Something else […] November 23, 2021
Blog / Enforcing Your Acceptable Use Policy Effectively As we’ve written about previously, having an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for your employees isn’t really an option in the business world these days.

The […] November 18, 2021
Blog / How Big is Your Network? Thinking about a network of computers is similar to thinking about a network of people. They’re both collections, albeit of devices or people, that can talk to each other. Some devices communicate wirelessly, others through an ethernet connection, and some over the internet. It’s not really important to think about how they talk to each […] November 16, 2021
Blog / 5 Key Considerations for Selecting a Managed Service Provider There are plenty of benefits to partnering with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for your IT needs.

Blog / Don’t Mistake Cyber Resiliency for Cyber Security Have you ever considered your organization’s cyber resiliency? Don’t feel bad if you said no. In fact, the truth is you probably have but just didn’t know it. That’s partly because cyber resiliency is a fairly broad ranging subject that encompasses multiple topics.

Blog / Not Having Acceptable Use Policies is not Acceptable Of all the different IT policies your organization may have (password, remote work, privacy, BYOD, social media, etc.), one that often gets overlooked is the acceptable use policy. The reasons are many and mostly understandable. After all, employees already know they shouldn’t be visiting risque or other potentially dangerous websites on the company time, right?

Blog / Have you heard of the Principle of Least Privilege? There’s lots of advice to be given about how to set up your computer security. The toolbox is massive, with plenty of different models to choose from.
