Cybersecurity experts Rob Wright (Dark Reading), David Jones (Cybersecurity Dive), and Alissa Irei (TechTarget Search Security) recently came together to discuss the future of online security. Let’s take a look at their insights on major trends and new risks to help businesses better navigate the challenges on the horizon.

Cloud computing is the use of remote servers to store, manage, and process data, freeing businesses from the limits of physical infrastructure. For small businesses, that means reduced IT overhead, improved agility, and access to enterprise-level tools.

Strong passwords are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect online accounts. Still, many businesses use weak or reuse credentials. Learning how to create stronger passwords can significantly lower your business’s risk without adding unnecessary complexity to your security practices.

Letting visitors use your company’s Wi-Fi might seem like good hospitality, but it could come at a high cost. Whether it’s accidental access to sensitive files or slowing down your connection, a poorly configured network can create unnecessary risk.

Collaboration should be easy, not a chore. That’s why Microsoft Loop is such a game changer for teams of all sizes. It’s a simple way to keep your notes, lists, and tasks right where your conversations are happening, whether that’s in a quick Teams chat or a formal Outlook invite.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a concern for big corporations. In this article, we explore how cloud technology helps smaller businesses tap into enterprise-grade security, minimize risks, and recover quickly from disruptions.

Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be an uphill battle for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). With cloud technology, securing your data and systems is no longer about building a large IT department or investing in expensive infrastructure.

Technology can be a game-changer for growing businesses. From speeding up workflows to helping teams collaborate more efficiently, the right tools can drive great improvements. But not every tech investment pays off, especially when businesses jump in without a clear plan.

We give our IT teams the keys to the kingdom to keep operations running. Yet, that access creates a massive blind spot. Recent trends show disgruntled tech workers bypassing the very security measures they helped build. Trust is necessary for business, but blind faith in your technical staff leaves your company wide open to attack.

Many organizations believe that moving to the cloud automatically guarantees 100% uptime and data preservation, but history paints a starkly different picture. From accidental deletions and coding errors to physical fires and ransomware attacks, various disasters have wiped out critical data in an instant for even the largest tech giants.

With cyberthreats escalating and major breaches costing billions, many organizations are embracing the zero trust approach, a holistic methodology that assumes compromise and requires constant verification across all devices and applications. This guide lists the practical, actionable steps security leaders must take to move beyond initial pilots and effectively implement a comprehensive zero trust architecture that effectively counters modern threats.
