The dream of a company-only device policy died about five minutes after the first smartphone hit the market. Whether you officially allow it or not, your team is likely checking Slack from their sofas and answering emails in the grocery line on their personal phones.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is no longer a perk; it’s the standard. But without a solid strategy, it’s also a security nightmare waiting to happen. Here is how to embrace the flexibility of BYOD without handing the keys to your kingdom to every malware-laden app on the app store.

There’s a lot of hardware in the modern business setup, and most of it is computerized to some degree. As such, ridding your business of any of it has become a more involved process than it once was… all in the name of data security.

The simple fact is that more devices than ever have memory, which can easily cause serious problems if you are not careful.

It is tempting to call the family tech genius when your office Wi-Fi acts up. Whether it is a niece who builds gaming rigs or a friend who is good with computers, leaning on a hobbyist for business infrastructure seems like a great way to save a few bucks.

In reality, it is one of the most expensive mistakes a business owner can make. Here is why mixing family favors with professional IT is a recipe for disaster.

Wikipedia has always been the gold standard for human-vetted information. A recent clash between the Open Knowledge Association (OKA) and veteran Wikipedia editors has highlighted a big issue: AI hallucinations.
