Many organisations have adopted the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as their public cloud provider. Many did so as they are already using Google Workspace business and productivity solutions like Gmail and Google Docs, and it makes sense to use GCP for other cloud-based solutions. Securing Data in the Cloud Figures show that 92% of organisations […]
Defending networks, systems, data, and people from cyberattacks is complex and requires a multifaceted strategy. In addition to the traditional security solutions we all know, like firewalls, detection intrusion systems, and anti-malware/anti-virus solutions, there is a need for intelligent monitoring of activity on networks. This needs to be able to highlight anomalies and is increasingly […]
The adoption of cloud services across multiple providers is rapidly becoming the norm for many organisations. This multi-cloud approach brings many benefits, but at the same time, it increases complexity and the threat surface available for cyber attackers to probe and exploit. In a multi-cloud organisation, data constantly moves from cloud services to endpoint devices […]
Something as common and widely known as a software update can prevent major cyberattacks from happening, as they incorporate patches that fix system vulnerabilities. Prioritizing updates may seem a burdensome and inconvenient task for users, because computers and servers have to restart to perform installation, which interrupts users when they are working. This is why […]
The number of apps being developed has never been higher. Apps written for mass distribution via smartphone and tablet app stores now total in the millions. This means that a lot of code is being written from scratch by in-house teams and external development companies. This new code is supplemented by third-party libraries and open-source […]

Microsoft 365 provides rich functionality that is easy to commission and onboard users without any on-premise infrastructure management. The same applies to Google Workspaces, Salesforce cloud tools, and Storage via Box or […]

But it has remained beyond the reach of many SMEs due to the complexity required for the onsite data-gathering infrastructure and associated costs. Gartner reported recently that 17% of SME organisations had deployed NDR, […]
