Research from Google’s Project Zero and Mandiant has shown that many critical vulnerabilities are now being actively exploited within 72 hours of public disclosure. That is three days. If your business runs on a monthly patching cycle, you could be left exposed for up to four weeks after a serious...

Old network cameras, ageing routers, forgotten printers, and unmanaged NAS drives are not just inefficient. They are active security liabilities, and in most London offices they are quietly running on live networks with nobody responsible for them. This is what a zombie tech audit addresses. It is the process of...

Cloud-to-cloud backup is one of those services where the headline price can look reassuringly simple — a monthly fee per user, per seat, or per gigabyte — and the actual cost of getting it right turns out to be considerably more nuanced. If you’re evaluating cloud-to-cloud backup for the first...

Most businesses that invest in endpoint security do so with the right intentions. They deploy the tools, hand them over to their IT team or managed provider, and assume the job is largely done. What happens next is often where the value gets lost. Endpoint security tools generate a significant...

When someone joins your team in London, getting them set up with the right device, the right applications, and the right access is already a process that requires coordination. When that person is joining your New York office, or starting in Amsterdam, Warsaw, or Singapore, the complexity multiplies quickly. Global...

If you’ve ever had to recover data after something went wrong, you’ll know how quickly a gap in your backup strategy can turn into a very costly problem. The two metrics at the heart of any solid backup and recovery plan are RPO and RTO — and understanding both is...

If you are an executive, you are not just another user in the business. You are a higher-value target. You have decision-making authority, access to sensitive information, and a name that people inside and outside your company are more likely to trust. That makes you useful to attackers who want...

Endpoint hardening is not about making devices awkward to use. It is about making everyday attacks much harder to pull off. In the real world, many breaches start with a laptop, desktop, mobile device, or user account that is easier to compromise than it should be. A missed update, too...

When your business runs on Google Workspace, it is easy to assume your data is fully protected simply because it lives in the cloud. That is only partly true. Google gives you a reliable platform and some built-in recovery options, but Google also states that Vault is not designed to...

If you are reviewing your cyber security setup, it is easy to assume penetration testing and vulnerability scanning do the same thing. They do not. They support each other, but they answer different questions. A vulnerability assessment helps you find weaknesses. A penetration test helps you understand how those weaknesses...
