    • Blog / Do You Have Any Resolutions For The New Year? Christmas is a time to sit down with family and friends, and give thanks for the good things that you have. It’s certainly not for pondering work or something heavy like cyber security. Yet here I am with a short newsletter and a reminder that your cyber security should never be forgotten. Now don’t worry, […] December 28, 2021

Have yourself a merry little Frag war Let your ping be fast From now on that traceroute will be […] December 21, 2021
    Blog / Planning your 2022 IT Budget Canadian IT budget It’s that magical time of year again, when CFOs, CTOs, and all the other chief officers start putting together their plans for a profitable new year. Across the country executives are making lists of what’s worked over the past year and what hasn’t, and everyone’s being asked what they’ll need to succeed in 2022. Of […] December 16, 2021
    Blog / The Log4j Attack and You Interpretation of the Log4j attack Log4j is a library of computer code assets that can be used as part of open-source (free-to-use) Apache web server. It’s not crucial to the operation of a website. Instead, it generates log entries about the website’s activity. The problem is that since Log4j is part of a webserver, sufficiently skilled users can impact how […] December 14, 2021
    Blog / The True Scope of the Ransomware Problem The Global Ransomware Problem Nobody is going to deny that ransomware is a problem. Most probably won’t even deny it’s both a large big and growing problem. Yet there’s a problem with that assessment. We can only rely on the information that companies are willing to talk about. Let’s step away from ransomware for just a second and talk […] December 07, 2021
    Blog / The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Cyber Loafing 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.

    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 / Do you have a next generation firewall? Firewall Although it’s a technical and challenging topic, there are certain things about cyber security that are considered common knowledge. The easiest example involves antiviral software; everyone knows they should always have antiviral software installed on their computers. 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 Acceptable Use Policy button 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? Network traffic between computers 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
