How does bloatware pose security risks and impact employee productivity in corporate environments? Bloatware in corporate settings poses two major challenges. Firstly, when employees download unvetted software, it exposes sensitive company data to security risks. Secondly, bloatware slows down device performance, causing disruptions that lower employee productivity and workflow efficiency. Managing these risks is essential for maintaining a secure and productive work environment.

Labor Day is often an exciting day where many have off work as we honor and recognize the achievements of American workers. However, as you enjoy a day off work, remember that cybercriminals are always on the lookout. What should you watch for? ▪ If you have the day off, make sure you are not logged in to any devices accessible to the public. ▪ Be aware of any links or Labor Day deals -- avoid clicking on unverified links or deals that look too good to be true. ▪ Work to flag any odd activity happening during off hours. And, most importantly, always be aware of where and how you share your information. Stay cyber-safe, and enjoy the holiday! #SociumSolutions #HappyLaborDay

Your company is at risk for cyber attack. Wondering if you read that right? It really is true. While you should not be in constant fear of cyber attacks, it is a general fact that threat actors do not discriminate based on size, type, or location of a business. Instead, they often look for opportunities where the reward is worth the risk -- is it easy to access sensitive information? Will it be easy to gather ransom or take financial assets? How strong are cybersecurity measures? In addition to the above questions, threat actors also target businesses based on their abilities and how quickly they can move on to the next target. While there are outliers who attack business for very specific reasons, any business can be attacked at any time for any reason. How can you protect your business? Instead of worrying day in and day out, creating a strong, informed incident response plan based off of a risk assessment, along with relevant monitoring, can prevent cybercrime before it impacts your business and provide swift security in the case a threat bypasses measures.

Considering Zero Trust Security for Your Company? Cybersecurity evolves constantly, posing new threats that challenge traditional defenses. Evaluating current measures and exploring alternatives like Zero Trust is crucial. Zero Trust eliminates inherent trust within network perimeters, emphasizing continuous verification, least privilege access, and micro-segmentation to enhance security. Benefits include reduced attack surfaces, better compliance with data privacy regulations, and enhanced security for remote work. However, implementation requires investment in tools and training, impacting user experience and adding complexity. Assessing your cybersecurity needs is essential to determine if Zero Trust is right for your company. For more insights, visit our website,https://bit.ly/4fobiJc

Happy Funny Friday! We hope you enjoyed our cybersecurity joke today, and while cheesy (see what we did there?), we do want to remind you that even though the weekend is coming, you should still be aware of potential cyber threats. What should you look out for? ▪ Don't click on links from unknown senders -- if you need to verify, search for the website or visit using a link you already have. ▪ Be wary of scanning unverified QR codes while enjoying your weekend plans -- that QR code hanging on a telephone post may not be legitimate. #FunnyFriday #SociumSolutions

In many cases, we assume that our cyber risk stops at with attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and malware. However, as technology advances, there are a variety of ways in which your business could be at risk. For example, as we celebrate #WorldPhotoDay, we want to spotlight the dangers that AI-generated content and deepfakes can pose. What does that mean? Imagine you get a text from your boss asking for a gift card to pay a client. That's pretty obviously a phishing scam, and can be easily verified with a quick call to your boss using a trusted phone number. Now, what happens if you have a scheduled video call with your boss and they ask you for a gift card to pay clients during that call? You may see their face, hear their voice, but it could all be a deepfake meant to steal money from the company. This does not mean that you have to be wary of every single call that comes your way, but it does mean that you should look out for odd requests that you can verify over a different means of communication. If your "boss" uses photos or videos to request something extremely out of the ordinary, this might be a sign to verify the request with others or different communication. Are they asking you to share access to sensitive data that they already have access to? Are they asking you to withdraw a large amount of money? Are they unable to answer simple business-related questions? On a lighter note, we thought it would be fun to compare an AI-generated photo with a stock image -- let us know in the comments if you can discern which is which! If you’re interested in learning more, here’s an article from the New York Institute of Technology discussing how deep fakes work and what some of the risks are, https://lnkd.in/dTBmKi3k: #WorldPhotoDay #ImpactOfAI
