1). THREAT INTEL: DARK WEB – Are your SMEs Credentials for sale on the DarkWeb? SMEs (Small & Medium Sized Enterprises) Are further confirmed as the primary targets for OcCGs (Organised Cyber-Crime Groups) The Small Business sector has gone from “No real risk” to “Hyperisk”.  According to Threat Labs Kaspersky an SME Pays a Ransom every few seconds, Cyber attacks are now the leading cause of bankruptcy in SMEs and 80% of all Data Breaches are due to weak or stolen Passwords. Check your SMEs Credentials NOW!

2). THREAT INTEL: EU CYBER LABEL Big-Tech should not be excluded from EUCS. A EU Scheme (EUCS) scheme which excludes many of the worlds so call Big-Tech companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet the parent of Google. The aim of the EUCS is to aid corporate and government departments in selecting Cloud Storage & Security partners and providers. Unfortunately the very essence of the initiative defaults to European technology excluding all the US Giants who are blatantly nor European Corporations

3). VPN – Understanding The Virtual Private Network (VPN) A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an essential technology for SMEs as it enables secure and private communication over a public network. By encrypting data and hiding the user’s IP address, VPNs establish a secure connection between the employees’ devices and the company’s network, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive information.
