Message from Mike: Stay cyber-safe this summer
As travel continues to return to pre-pandemic levels, 63% of U.S. adults plan to travel this summer – up slightly from this time last year, according to a recent survey by Bankrate. Are you familiar with common cyber risks during travel?

We consistently remind organizations that cyber attacks are on the rise. And it's not if you'll experience a threat, but when. From a personal perspective, consider all the business data you carry with you on mobile devices and tablets. Threats don't limit themselves to inside your workplace's four walls.

In our recent webinar, we discussed the importance of staying secure this summer. Our consulting services take into consideration a wide variety of risk, and I'd love to share some best practices with you and your team. Feel free to reach out using the link below!

Malicious Emails are Getting More Sophisticated
Widespread accessibility to generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, as well as the increasing sophistication of malicious threats, means that email scams are more convincing than ever. Organizations will continue to rely on email as their primary collaboration and communication tool, but traditional security solutions are struggling to combat evolving digital threats.
