The worst time to decide how to deal with a cyber attack is when you’re right in the middle of one.

Unfortunately, it’s something you’ll probably need to deal with eventually – SMBs are a prime target for cyber criminals.

Here’s a shocking fact: 90% of cyber attacks start with a simple email.

And guess who uses email every sin

Why?

Because a surprising 90% of cyber attacks begin with an email. And if you and your whole team are reliant on email every day, your chances of falling for a scam increase.

Email: We all think it’s a pain but also rely on it all day, every day. BUT… it’s putting every business (including yours) at a huge risk of data breach.

Why? Because 90% of cyber security attacks start in your inbox. Here are some stats to share with your team (and my advice on how to keep your business safe).

As a cybersecurity expert, Alan was interviewed by WPTV Chanel 5 News and asked his views on Florida’s social media bill.

The bill is due to come into effect on January 1 2025. Under the bill children of 14 or 15 will need their parents’ permission to be on most social media sites and younger children will be banned.

Your business couldn’t function without its technology, right?

Break/Fix

When your IT provider fixes your broken tech… and that’s it.

Whether it’s suspected malware, a data breach, or a computer that refuses to connect to anything, chances are it’s going to cause you and your team downtime.

And if you only have a break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), it’s going to mean unexpected costs, lots of waiting, and stress. Plenty of stress.
