AI is making phishing scams more dangerous
AI chatbots have taken the world by storm in recent months. We’ve been having fun asking ChatGPT questions, trying to find out how much of our jobs it can do, and even getting it to tell us jokes.

Is your security focusing on the right things?
To protect your home from an intruder you make sure your doors and windows are all locked and secured.

Are your younger employees experiencing ‘tech shame’?
It seems that Gen Z and even some Millennial employees are less tech savvy than many employers might expect. It’s an assumption that’s leading to a sense of ‘tech shame’.

A little trust can go a long way
Countless employers still don’t trust their people to do their best work unless they’re physically in the office.

Research from around the world reveals that greater flexibility from remote and hybrid working often […]
Windows is the prime target for cyber criminals
With its huge dominance in the workplace, Microsoft’s Windows has become the prime target for cyber criminals.

When can you finally forget your password?
Passkeys are set to take over from traditional passwords to give us a safer, more secure way of logging into our online accounts.
