When household brands suffer data breaches, you’re on notice that your business could be the next potential target for cybercriminals.

This has the potential to impact your brand, reputation and worse. There are also regulatory and legal obligations in most jurisdictions that require you to safeguard and secure consumer data. Fail to do this and you risk exposing yourself to legal liability and even litigation from your partners, clients and customers.

The sensible thing to do is to have a policy and plan of action for dealing with cyber security breaches, with a clear awareness of the legal implications.

The stereotype of a computer hacker – where all it takes a few minutes of frenzied typing to access and control their target’s digital life – is looking more and more out of date. As organisations of all stripes getting serious about IT security, cybercrime is gaining a physical component.

From desktop computers and laptops to tablets and smartphones, equipping your business with all the devices you need to thrive in the digital era can be expensive. It's also difficult to manage a fleet of company-owned devices – most of which require regular updates and often become redundant when the next model is released.

Cryptocurrencies may have fixated everyone with their insane valuations that have hogged the limelight over the past few years, but as the hype dies down, the focus has rightfully shifted to blockchain, the technology that underpins those digital currencies.

The increasing power of mobile phones, tablets and other devices has challenged the traditional desktop and laptop computer.

Yet is it really possible to run your business from your phone? Is an iPad Pro a good substitute for a MacBook, or a Galaxy S9 a substitute for a PC? And where do devices like the Surface Pro fit into the ecosystem?

The idea of a hybrid cloud set-up – combining on-premises and off-site services – is an increasingly popular option for organisations of all sizes. But you do need some careful planning to make this type of implementation work.

Cloud computing services are right at the cutting edge of digital technology, allowing organisations large and small to streamline their operations and improve efficiency. These services, also known as ‘the cloud’, have since their inception been at the forefront of the digital revolution, with each iteration bringing an ever-expanding range of products and services.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft technology that’s something like a phone directory for your network; as Microsoft explains, “it stores information about organizations, sites, systems, users, shares, and just about any other network object that you can imagine”.

Work practices have undergone a revolution in the digital age. Networked devices and more mobility have blurred the line between work and home as vast numbers of people perform their jobs across multiple platforms, often far from the office.

From the iPhone to the pet rock, the most lucrative business ideas tend to arise from a willingness to think outside the norm. But for every breakthrough, there are countless ideas that fail to take off.
That’s not necessarily because they were bad ideas; it’s because successful innovation relies just as much on the execution as it does on creative thinking.

Social media networks have billions of users; as of January 2018 the biggest network is Facebook and key platform user numbers include:

• Facebook: 2.167 billion .......

Digital technology might have transformed the modern workplace, but every innovation inevitably throws up its own set of obstacles to overcome.

Old networking infrastructure is one of the biggest barriers to implementing a unified communications and collaboration strategy. Here's how SMB networks can handle the increased load, without requiring a significant hardware upgrade.
