Getting the Message Out There

The three largest network morning news shows are often what Americans have on in the background as we get ready for work or school. You’ll find the headlines, pop culture, and maybe some shopping bargains from time to time. They generally cover the top stories of the day but are not known for their likelihood to always address the hard-hitting stories in detail.
Cyber Insurance

As an adult, it is likely that you’re at least carrying one insurance policy. Life, renters, auto, home…. In fact, it is very likely that you have multiple policies that provide coverage for each and every aspect of your life. This coverage continues beyond your “stuff” and into your well-being with health insurance. While needed to take care of the everyday doctor visits and prescriptions, it becomes essential when faced with catastrophic events that result in huge medical bills. Unfortunately, these are the events that are unexpected, and have rendered many uninsured individuals into bankruptcy as a result of lack of coverage.

There’s a lot to do when it comes to keeping up with multiple clients who are often in “crisis mode” or reacting to things that they might not understand, which can lead to panic. You need to have solutions that deploy quickly and do the job right the first time.
Down the Pipeline

Just as it seemed we might be seeing clear skies ahead in terms of the pandemic, another dark cloud began to rise on the horizon.

Updating Software

It’s that little alert on your desktop. The “upgrades available” indicator when you check your computer. Or when your smartphone tells you that it’s going to update later while you’re sleeping, and you defer it to another time. What if you miss an email or a text? Nah, you don’t need to do that update, your phone is working fine.
Normalizing Breaches

In August of 2019, Facebook was the victim of a data breach that compromised information from 533 million people from 106 different countries. Why is this in the news now? Because the breach was addressed in a recent email from Facebook management, and that email was accidentally sent to a Belgium-based news outlet and, in that email, they don’t seem too concerned.
Cryptocurrency 101

Cryptocurrency is a term that we hear all of the time, but many of us don’t seem to fully grasp what it is, and how it works. We’ll take a look at it from a high level to provide some understanding. Why? Well, it isn’t going away, and it only seems to be gaining popularity. And also, because if you are a target of a ransomware attack, it could very likely be how the hacker demands payment. Now, we are not suggesting you pay that ransom demand, but getting familiar with cryptocurrency will help you in understanding how these cybercriminals are able to fly under the radar.
