Cyber Security is a broader subject and Going-Concern Risk than Employees and most Employers are aware of. Employees and employers most often believe that the IT Department "has a handle on it" but don't realise it's also their responsibility... If you’re an employee, you are on the front lines of information security. Your company may have comprehensive cybersecurity policies for you and coworkers to follow. But even with these types of protections in place, it’s important to stay on guard to help assure your company’s data and network are safe and secure. Cyber Security like "the Cloud" and "IoT" are terms or subjects that are broader than most people realise.  Because they're so broad people quite often misunderstand what they can encapsulate and ideally what they should know as a base understanding. Yes Cyber Security does involve computers; software; servers and passwords but it also includes everything leading up to that for potential att

For all those that don't know Google announced Change is inevitable and   The G Suite legacy free edition will no longer be available starting July 1, 2022 Upgrade to Google Workspace by May 1, 2022 If you're one of the lucky few that managed to set yourself up with what was called "Gmail for your Domain" and then " Google Apps for Your Domain " back in 2006 and have managed to keep ahold of your account I'd recommend filling in the form ASAP! For those that don't know the Legacy Edition was originally just the ability to use your own personal domain with some limited personalisation and collaboration through associated Apps such as Google Plus, Calendar, and adding email address accounts to the same domain which then evolved into the back end Admin Console. It's understandable Google wants to deprecate Legacy, it's been around for over 15 years. Whilst storage and business functionality has been limited in comparison to the entry-level busin

I had a little trouble finding additional details on how to populate HTML links to prefill GMail so I thought I should post it here for later.

I've had a number of people asking me recently about using recently popularised Apps due to COVID-19 in personal situations. In my personal opinion, I would steer away from both Zoom and Houseparty in particular, use something that is tried and tested like Messenger , Hangouts , Facetime or WhatsApp and ensure they're up to date as the latter two have also had hacking issues in the past due to people not updating after identified security breaches. Both Apps are very popular at the moment and have had security and privacy concerns raised. Houseparty has been reviewed by security experts which have said: "it's probably safe". It has safe security options but it is up to the end-user to implement them correctly. Having said that if you read the fine print Houseparty uses your personal data and advertising as their income (nothing is free), there have been reports of users having their login details for Netflix and Spotify accounts compromised but these ar

It's surprising what can instill business remodeling and push for changes in technology or an increase in an uptake. COVID-19 has had an extreme impact in our daily routines and has pushed towards a working from home in ways that would have taken years to become the norm.  Don't get me wrong we've been on our way there in the past few years with the developments onto cloud and SAAS solutions; on-line tools, integrations and deliveries; ICQ to Skype to a plethora of communication solutions. In the company I work for/with I've had to roll out a solution we've has available in a SAAS group but never pushed on as it was a convenience solution in place of face-to-face meetings primarily used for FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) clients that might have a limited schedule to communicate and not be in a convenient location. However now that COVID-19 had reared its head into the workplace it obviously creates a risk factor for a traditional face-to-face meeting which is quite likely to
