Offboarding sounds administrative. Someone leaves, HR updates the record, IT switches off a few accounts, the laptop comes back, and everyone moves on. In practice, it is an easy moment for cyber risk to slip through the cracks. A rushed departure can leave behind live accounts, stale guest access, saved passwords in browsers, active mobile…
File sharing is one of those things that feels harmless until it is not. A link gets copied into the wrong chat. A supplier still has access three months after the project ends. A folder meant for one client is visible to five. Nothing looks dramatic at the time, yet those small shortcuts add up…
Most small businesses do not lose sleep over “endpoints”. They worry about invoices, deadlines, clients and whether the Wi-Fi will behave in the meeting room. Then a laptop goes missing, a staff member clicks the wrong thing, or an update prompt gets ignored for weeks. Suddenly, the endpoint is the story. In 2026, endpoint protection…
December has a funny way of exposing weak access controls. Someone is off on holiday, a temp is covering finance, and a supplier is ‘just popping in’ to fix something before the break. Meanwhile, your systems are still carrying the scars of the year: old accounts, stray admin rights, and forgotten apps that nobody owns.…
If you have ever paid an invoice that “felt a bit off”, you already understand the problem with email. It looks official, it arrives at the right moment, and it nudges a busy person to act quickly. Attackers love that. They do not need to break into your systems if they can simply borrow your…
The first sign is usually small. A strange login alert. An invoice query from a client. A member of staff who says, “My files have odd names”. Within an hour you are on the phone to your IT provider, trying to work out what is real, what is still working and who you need to…
QR codes have slipped into daily life so quietly that most of us hardly notice them. Scan to pay for parking. Scan to view a menu. Scan to confirm delivery. Attackers have noticed too. Quishing – phishing that starts with a QR code – turns that tiny square into a trap that moves victims off…
Most breaches start with a login prompt and a tired human. Password reuse, dodgy reset links and rushed approvals keep paying attackers. Passkeys offer a cleaner route: cryptographic keys that live on your devices and prove you are you without sending secrets across the wire. In 2025 that shift has gone from theory to action.…
A business inbox is no longer filled only with clumsy scams. Attackers now wield synthetic voices, cloned faces and AI-generated backdrops that look exactly like the real CEO. Deepfake phishing has moved from novelty to board-level menace. Organisations of every size now grapple with a threat that can slip through traditional email filters and fool…
