Why would a firewall expert say don't buy a firewall - have a quick listen to firewall expert Robin Kelland ⬇️ ? Are you telling your IT providers what you think you need and therefore just getting what you asked for - or are they straight enough with you to make sure you get exactly what you DO NEED. Want to work with people that have meeting your organisation's goals and effectiveness as a priority - no fluff, no BS. DM me to speak with people that don't ever just process orders. #cybersecurityawarenessmonth

Here are some of the fundamental reasons why TREs (Trusted Research Environments) and SDEs (Secure Data Environments) are crucial to protecting sensitive data on the Public Cloud. At CloudKubed, we use the #AzureTRE Accelerator to build secure environments that can be used not only for accelerating research but also for data storage and security, using cloud-based Airlock controls to prevent unauthorised data leakage. This is fundamental to protecting and securing data in the Public Cloud. #Microsoft #trustedresearchenvironment

Where is your data? Who hosts that data? What contracts are in force to protect your data being "handed over" to third parties at a whim? If Police Scotland struggle to get their head around the implications of their actions, how are SMEs supposed to cope? Do SMEs have the legal wherewithal to understand the Cloud Act? (Do SMEs even know where their data is? Much of it is likely lurking in the shadows, after all). I know I'm asking questions rather than answering them. Cloud services were meant to make our lives easier, but do they? #cloudsecurity #ico #shadowdata https://lnkd.in/eetuxeQZ

Here’s an important warning about something that could affect your business: A security flaw has been found in Microsoft Bookings. The popular tool is used for scheduling appointments – but the flaw could allow scammers to create unauthorised accounts and get hold of false certificates. Why should you be worried? If scammers create fake accounts pretending to be senior people in your business, they could trick your employees into sharing sensitive information. This could give them access to your business systems and even let them reset passwords, locking you out of all your accounts. If your business uses Microsoft 365, it’s doubly important to be aware of this issue. The security flaw comes from a feature in Microsoft Bookings called 'Shared Booking Pages”, which is usually turned on by default under the Microsoft 365 licence. When someone creates a shared booking page, it creates a new account without going through the usual security checks. This is how scammers can slip through the cracks. This security alert is a reminder of how important it is to keep an eye on the tools we use every day. Check if you’re using Microsoft Bookings in your business and consider disabling it if you don't need it. It’s also a good idea to keep your systems updated and have an IT expert (like us) review your security settings. It can go a long way towards protecting your business. If this sounds a bit overwhelming, don’t worry. My team can help, get in touch. #Microsoft #Bookings #CyberSecurity #ITSupportNorwich

New Blog! This time focussing on Security Monitoring, this is my background subject really, but this one doesn’t talk about the solutions you could implement for a good reason, because the most important thing is your need. A lot of businesses don’t get value because they listen to the vendor not their own business, having the need nailed down will save unnecessary cost and make your vendor relationship more sustainable. There are some tips in here that you should be aware of when approaching or re-approaching your perfect solution (if there is such a thing).

The biggest advice when deciding on your tech, cyber security, voip partner is look into the history / experience. Find out who’s been in the industry, who’s trained in the industry and has expeirence in the industry. The amount of horror stories we are coming across from resellers or people who tend to follow trends of business and whatever is the latest fad sale….. You data, your IT systems and communications are your business. Make sure they have in house support engineers , make sure they are actively training and have accreditation’s and have the relevant experience. You wouldn’t have an ex tree surgeon undertake your gas safety check with no training would you 🫣 So basic but so many people falling short with resellers.

We all know that thieves are always on the lookout for easier ways to steal your valuables... AI is now the tool of choice too accelerate, and widen, their reach... Phishing attacks are on the rise, and AI is expected to dramatically increase both their sophistication and frequency. Traditional authentication methods, such as usernames and passwords, as well as mobile-based authentication (MFA), are already vulnerable to hacking. With AI, these methods may become even less effective, potentially pushing them towards obsolescence. Discover the current and future landscape of AI-driven phishing and let our experts show you strategies to combat both today’s and tomorrow’s cyber threats. #cybersecurity #cyberessentials #rsasecurity #ai
