Your team has been logging in with passwords since the day they created their first Hotmail account (that might be dating me harshly...). Some of those passwords are strong, most are probably reused somewhere, some haven't changed in years, and pretty regularly someone in the office mixes things up and needs a reset.

Most businesses know how to handle the human side of employee departures pretty well - hopefully a nice going-away or retirement party, the laptop gets returned, and HR updates the org chart. But the tech side has plenty to take care of as well and if it isn't done right things can get a little messy.

Hybrid meetings have become standard for a lot of businesses. Some people are in the room, some are home or remote, maybe one lucky participant is blurring waves crashing in the background. Unfortunately, the result is often a frustrating experience for at least one of those groups.

In the traditional office, "Clean Desk" policies are a simple habit - shred any sensitive stuff you don't need anymore, lock everything else away when you're not in your seat, and don't leave a post-it note of all your super secret passwords stuck to the edge of your monitor.

Technology is at the heart of modern business operations, but as powerful as may be, it’s not perfect. No matter the industry, organizations can often run into the same recurring tech issues. And when those issues aren't fully resolved, they will continue to pop back up tiem and time again, costing time, money, and opportunities.

Like it or not, most of our work is done online now. Through "the cloud" we can store, collaborate, and access our important information from anywhere in the world. This accessibility and convenience bring significant benefits to businesses, but it also comes with a major risk to network security.
