How to Share Data Securely
SharePoint and One Drive provide a cloud-based hosting platform that you can use to store and share documents securely. These Microsoft products also allow you to secure your files so that only the people you want to be able to access these files can do so.
How Safe is LinkedIn? Be Aware What You Share
LinkedIn have a Sales Navigator feature called LinkedIn Smart Links, that cyber criminals have been abusing to bypass security features and provide malicious links to their targets in phishing messages.
The Best Defence Against Cyber Attack
According to the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the biggest threats faced by business and individuals in the UK are low-sophisticated cyber crime. All of these low sophisticated cyber attacks usually get into your systems through one unidentified weakness, such as missing software update on your computer, or a malicious email or link sent to your employees.
QR Codes Now Used in Phishing Attacks
Phishing is one of the most prolific cyber attacks that takes place every day. A recent rise in the use of QR codes rather than links or attachments have been seen in phishing attacks – sometimes referred to as ‘quishing’ attacks.
Why do Software Updates Matter?
Keeping software up to date means you are protecting your devices and personal information. Do not put off taking the time to properly update your devices.
Fake Google Ads Used to Spread Malware
Google Ads are a good source of advertising in order to increase the number of visitors to your website. However, cyber criminals are now abusing this system to create copies of legitimate websites that when visited install malware onto your computer.
What is a Zero-Day?
Zero-day attacks have been on the rise recently, with 80 identified in 2021 – an increase of more than 100% from 32 in 2019, and we expect this number to continue to rise.
How to keep your team vigilant
Email is invaluable in most businesses – unfortunately it is also the cyber criminals favourite tool. It’s virtually free to send millions of malicious emails that are designed to trick your team into clicking a link and stealing their passwords or to deliver a malicious attachment that looks like an invoice but really contains malware to infect your network.
What is Security Awareness Training
Security Awareness Training is like the fire drill for your office, a few minutes well spent will help protect your business from a potentially catastrophic loss caused by ransomware or a hack.
Simplify your passwords with a password manager
The average person has to keep track of between 70 and 100 passwords. It’s no wonder we struggle to remember them all and end up re-using the same one (don’t do it!) or making them less secure by being easy to remember (don’t do that either). Here are Cyber Coach’s top tips to help you pick and use a password manager.
