Supply Chain Sabotage and Cybersecurity: What You Need to Know
Supply chain sabotage, or the intentional disruption of a supply chain, typically targets physical assets or information with the ultimate goal of some sort of reward that achieves economic gain or political influence, for example. While threat actors can sabotage the supply chain in a multitude of ways, cyber threat increases the level of risk that is faced by these operations.

Ransomware and Your Company: What You Need to Know
At this point, ransomware is a common word in and out of the cybersecurity sphere–the majority of individuals and businesses have heard of the term through breaking news and even potential threats, but many aren’t aware of the full danger that ransomware brings to businesses of all sizes. One of the biggest risks that businesses face when it comes to ransomware is simply being unprepared, or even underprepared. Why? Because this leaves their business open to threats with little to no plan of action – it can be argued that being underprepared even provides a false sense of confidence that inhibits organizations from efficient responses.
Mobile Devices and Cybersecurity: What is your risk?
Can a phone really impact the security of your business? Believe it or not, phones and other mobile devices can put your company at risk – think of the age-old adage: You are only as strong as your weakest link. Our phones themselves, along with other types of mobile devices (such as tablets), are not only at risk to mobile malware, but they are also prone to similar cybersecurity breaches that we see on computers. Why is that? For many, their mobile devices serve as an extension of their computers by aiding in checking emails, facilitating communication, and allowing access to business materials.
Is Zero Trust Security Right for My Company?
Cybersecurity is a field that evolves with every minor change in technology – each advancement gives threat actors another opportunity to access your sensitive data, and your security measures must be up to date in order to thwart such activity. This being the case, along with exploring how your current cybersecurity measures stand up to a threat analysis, it is beneficial to evaluate alternative methods to traditional approaches. One such approach is Zero Trust.
Earth Month and Cybersecurity: How do they intertwine?
As we gear up for Earth Day, you may be wondering how it has anything to do with cybersecurity – however, our environmental impact is tied to many aspects of the technology field. From proper disposal of our technologically devices to safe environmental use and evaluating the environmental impact of development and use of such devices, there is a constantly growing need to take sustainability into account when it comes to the field. This being the case, Earth Month is a crucial time for industry experts and beyond to highlight the growing E-Waste problem, which not only impacts the environment, but it also zeroes in on an important aspect of cybersecurity: Data Security.
Quantum computers: Do they impact cybersecurity?
What are quantum computers? In essence, they use qubits rather than classical bits, creating a powerful device that can solve unique problems and parse a multitude of information. The computers themselves work with principles such as entanglements, and ultimately linked qubits that share information instantly without a concern for distance. While these computers are still in the early stages, and require a special set of conditions to operate, it is crucial that we are aware not only of the potential that these devices have, but also how they will impact cybersecurity structures. Throughout their development, quantum computing has raised questions about how we secure and encrypt our data.
Phishing: Safeguard Your Business Against Deceptive Emails
Phishing inflicts not only financial losses—stolen funds, ransom demands, and data breach cleanup costs—but also enduring damage. A successful attack can obliterate a company’s reputation, eroding customer trust built over years. Consider the potential headlines: “Major Data Breach at [Company Name] Exposes Customer Information.” The ensuing public outcry, plummeting stock prices, and lost business can be crippling.
