This technology (like ChatGPT) has become increasingly important for business operations around the world.
๐ญ You're probably wondering:
Should my business be worried about AI?
In the past few years, our team has seen incredible results from AI: predicting threats, detecting behaviors, improved analytics, incident response, and real-time problem solving.
It's reasonable to be skeptical when cybercriminals can use these same tools for their dirty work.
๐ค 83%of companies consider using AI to be a high priority for 2023.
As a business owner, it's important to be aware of the benefits and the risks of AI. But researching thepros and cons of AI probably isn't high on your to-do list.
โAI is creating more convincing phishing emails and websites.
Safety Tips:
๐Make sure you have a strong cyber security policy in place, and that all employees are aware of it and understand it.
๐Use AI technology to your advantage for strengthening IT and cybersecurity, but be cautious about the information you share with AI-powered systems.

Tax season has begun and it typically comes with an uptick in tax-related scams. In 2022, there were close to 8 million reports of suspicious activity related to income tax filing and identity theft.
๐Learn how you can protect yourself this filing season:
Keep all machines clean. Having updated software on all devices that connect to the internet is critical.
Turn on multi-factor authentication. Many popular email services and financial institutions provide this security option, in which you are prompted to enter a code (sent via text or email) after logging in.
Make better passwords. Short or easy-to-guess passwords are like giving cyberthieves your banking PIN. Use longer passwords that use a combination of capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.
When in doubt, throw it out. Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails.
Think before you act. Ignore communications that implore you to act immediately โ especially if you are told you owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly.
File securely.Only submit your taxes on secure https sites. But remember, just because a website URL contains https doesnโt mean the site is legitimate.
File early. The IRS only accepts one tax return per Social Security number. If you file early, it becomes impossible for another tax return to be filed using your personal information.
Make sure your team is armed with the best internet safety and security practices!
