Insurance is a great asset, should you ever need it… including where your business technology is concerned. If you weren’t aware, there is a form of insurance—cyber insurance—that you can purchase in case your business suffers from a data breach.

Is this additional form of insurance worth the investment? Absolutely.

When we think about cybersecurity, we usually think about protecting our computers from viruses, right?

I’d imagine a few of our older readers remember a time when you would go to the store and buy antivirus software that came in a big brightly-colored box with a CD in it each year.

As you probably already know, things aren’t as simple anymore.

The popular IT support company Geek Squad, a subsidiary of Best Buy, is the latest company caught up in such a scam.

Your network security is of the utmost importance to your business for numerous, hopefully obvious reasons. However, there are a few errors that are easy enough to make that could easily be the proverbial monkey wrench in the works. Let’s go over what these network security *faux* pas look like, so you can resolve them more effectively (and don’t worry, we’ll discuss that, too).

Unfortunately, cybersecurity is a lot easier to reinforce in the office than it is when your team members are working remotely—and even then, it can be a serious challenge to maintain. However, let’s focus on the remote worker’s situation for a few moments and review a few best practices that can help a remote worker stay secure.

While it is obviously important for any business to keep medical data safe (we’ll review why in a moment), businesses here in Massachusetts should find it particularly pressing due to a few laws that we have on the books. Let’s review what these laws say, and what can be done to make sure a business is compliant.

Take a moment and consider that some predictions place the amount of data that Internet of Things (IoT) devices will produce by 2025 to be 73.1 ZB… “ZB” meaning “zettabytes,” each of which equalling one billion terabytes. That’s massive, and illustrates how many IoT devices will be around us at that point. Furthermore, it shows how concerned we should be about the potential for something called a “side-channel attack.”
