Many businesses assume that if ransomware hits, they can just restore files from the cloud.

But modern ransomware does not stop at your device.

When an infected laptop is connected to your cloud, encrypted files can sync instantly. This can overwrite clean data, version history and even recycle bins before you realise what has happened.

What starts on one device can spread across your entire system in minutes.

Cloud storage connects your data. It does not isolate it.

To have a higher level of security, you should have a separate backup system that is completely offline or locked down.

You need an isolated copy of your files that a compromised network account cannot reach, alter or delete.

Lest we forget 🌹

Today, we remember the courage, sacrifice and spirit of the men and women who have served our country.

We honour those who gave their lives, those who returned and those who continue to serve.

Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Text messages are not the most secure method for two-factor authentication.

Using SMS relies on telecommunications security, not IT security. Attackers can call a mobile carrier, impersonate a user and transfer the phone number to a new SIM card.

They then trigger a password reset and intercept the SMS code, bypassing the password entirely.

Transition your accounts to better secured alternatives. Use an Authenticator App or a physical hardware security key.

Have you audited how your employees receive their authentication codes?
