It's chaos. There's a line down the hall, all day. Productivity grinds to a halt. It's a classic bottleneck, and it’s completely unnecessary. Here's the hard truth: This is exactly what’s happening to your business’ data right now. You’re paying your ISP for a super-fast Internet connection, but you’re forcing all that crucial business data through a flimsy, $50 consumer-grade router; you’re going to find out it’s not up for the job.

The employee gets to use a device they already know and love, while the employer saves money from the cost of equipping that employee. That said, the security risks associated with BYOD can undermine an ill-prepared implementation and open the door to potential legal action.

We’re talking, of course, about the smart appliances, lights, thermostats, and so on, all of which make your office feel like you stepped into a sci-fi movie. As IT experts, it would be wrong for us to let you implement all these shiny new solutions without considering the security implications. Our question to you is this: are you willing to leave glaring security weaknesses in your infrastructure for the sake of being considered “high-tech?” We hope the answer is an emphatic “no.” Tags: [Security](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/security) [Technology](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/technology) [Network Security](https://datalyst.net/blog/tags/network-security) [0 Comments](https://datalyst.net/blog/when-the-smart-office-creates-stupid-security-problems#comments) [ Continue reading](https://datalyst.net/blog/when-the-smart-office-creates-stupid-security-problems) [ ![Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.net/images/easyblog_avatar/808_808_blogauthor.png) ](https://datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) ## [Are Your Ex-Employees Still in Your System?](https://datalyst.net/blog/are-your-ex-employees-still-in-your-system) Friday, 14 November 2025 [Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.net/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) [Datalyst Blog](https://datalyst.net/blog/categories/blog) [Business](https://datalyst.net/blog/categories/business) [ ![Are Your Ex-Employees Still in Your System?](https://datalyst.net/images/easyblog_shared/November_2025/11-14-24/b2ap3_large_Offboarding_1765747027_400.jpg) ](https://datalyst.net/blog/are-your-ex-employees-still-in-your-system "Are Your Ex-Employees Still in Your System?") When an employee leaves your business, they go through (or they should, at least) a comprehensive offboarding process where you collect their keys, laptops, and other assets you gave them to do their jobs. You may have collected these physical keys, but certainly not their digital keys. You might still see them pop up in the instant messaging app, or you might find recent activity from their account in your shared drive, all of which is problematic. If you’re not careful, ex-employees might still be using company resources for their own personal use, and this can create a serious security risk for your business—not to mention the legal ramifications should anything bad happen.

With ransomware, a malicious entity can lock down your computer files and demand a cryptocurrency ransom in exchange for your data’s safe return. So, why is cryptocurrency the chosen currency for these kinds of transactions?
