Should you ban AI on Fridays?
[preloadyoutube ytid=Ag-xQ1G1I0o] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) It sounds like a joke: “Maybe we should just ban AI on Friday afternoons.” 😅 However, the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. By Friday afternoon, people are tired, rushing to finish the week and more likely to skip the extra checks.…
Beware: This fake Windows 11 update looks the real deal
You probably don’t think twice when you see a Windows update. A quick click, a short wait and the job’s done. It’s routine, and it feels safe. After all, updates are there to protect your computer, not put it at risk. That’s exactly why this latest scam is so convincing. Cyber criminals have created a fake Windows 11…
Audit fatigue is slowing IT directors down
[preloadyoutube ytid=l8AQc4aVpNo] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) You probably don’t think of audits as a major problem. They’re part of the job. Security reviews. Compliance checks. Certifications. Internal assessments. Each one is manageable. But they keep coming back. One cycle finishes. Another begins. Evidence needs updating. Documentation needs reviewing. Controls need validating.…
Stop AI agents creating security blind spots
[preloadyoutube ytid=fTTXjqRz6EA] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) There’s a new layer being added to how organisations make decisions. An email gets drafted before you’ve fully thought it through. A report is summarised before you’ve read it. A system suggests an action and, increasingly, carries it out. None of this feels unusual anymore. AI…
Explaining cyber risk to the board without losing the room
[preloadyoutube ytid=sDA0OrkHrFU] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) You’re in a board meeting, and the question comes up: “How secure are we?” It sounds like a simple question. It isn’t. You’re not just describing the current state of your IT environment. You’re translating risk, controls, assumptions and trade-offs into something the board can understand…
Microsoft’s fixing the biggest issues in Windows 11
[preloadyoutube ytid=tYiganu_5i4] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) You’ve probably formed an opinion on Windows 11 by now. It’s capable. It’s familiar. But every now and then, something gets in the way. A delay here. A distraction there. A feature that feels like it’s trying a little too hard. Nothing that makes you want to replace…
What “advanced cyber security” means for your organisation
Are you confident your cyber security would stand up if someone asked you about it? It’s not something most organisations spend time thinking about. It usually comes up in the moment. A customer, parent or stakeholder asks how their data is protected, a regulator or governing body wants more detail, or you hear about another organisation…
Backups are half the story. What about recovery?
[preloadyoutube ytid=Xyg5OV2p_PU] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) Most backup conversations end a little too early. The question gets asked: “Are we backed up?” The answer is, of course, yes. Jobs are running, reports are clean, and everything looks as it should. That’s where the conversation often stops. What isn’t always explored is how confident…
How would you stop AI in an emergency?
[preloadyoutube ytid=B0nG9N5H8cg] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) AI is creeping into more parts of organisations than most people realise. It writes emails, helps analyse data, and powers tools your staff might be using every day. In many cases, it’s been adopted quickly. Which is great… until you stop and think about what would…
Beware these “alerts” from Microsoft Azure
[preloadyoutube ytid=TMlWxeSfC80] (Watch the video summary or read the full article below.) There’s a new type of scam doing the rounds… and this one’s a little more convincing than most. It looks like a genuine alert from Microsoft Azure Monitor. It comes from a real Microsoft domain, and it lands in your inbox without being flagged as suspicious.…
