Incident Response Plan: Why every organisation must have one

Incident Response Plan: Why every organisation must have one

Like we always say, EVERYTHING is hackable. It's not a matter of if, but when.

All businesses are at risk of Cybercrime. All businesses are at risk of a databreach. 89% of businesses worldwide experienced at least one Cybersecurity incident last year. $3.62 million is the average cost of a breach.

This is why Cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. We may not be able to fully protect our businesses, however, we can do a lot to reduce our risk.

R.I.P. Windows 7

R.I.P. Windows 7

RIP Windows 7.

Two days ago was the final day of support for Windows 7.

What this means, is that Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows 7.

Not a fan of Password Managers, or have you just not got around to using one?

So, we bang on about password managers and how they are the best option for creating, managing, and storing your passwords.

I know, I know, for many of you password managers are a big change, and take a bit of getting used to. And if you’re one of those who absolutely HATE change, then you probably haven’t followed the advice to move to a password manager.

So what’s the alternative?

Well, as you may well know, I’m a big fan of “done is better than perfect”, even when it comes to Cybersecurity. And any improvement is a step in the right direction. Many people use insecure passwords, or they use the same password across multiple sites, which is a big no no. 

It is possible to create a complex and difficult to crack password by creating random phrases. An example of this would be four random words that are memorable, or a sentence that means something to you with capitals and numbers.

Happy complex and memorable password creation! 😁

Oh, and trust us, when you do finally take the leap and move to a password manager and get through the initial pain, you’ll never look back. 

Thank us later! 😉

And remember, just start with one thing.
