This is a weekly round-up of the articles from Smart Thinking Solutions, our specialist cybersecurity, governance and compliance web site.
The articles are mostly quick reads to give you an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing businesses today, with links to the sources. Many of the posts have action points or top tips to help you navigate these threats to your organisations.
Sometimes they are just there to make you smile!
This week’s theme is definitely privacy, with articles to make my readers think about privacy in their businesses to the issue of using biometrics in schools for students to pay for school meals. If you think privacy is something that is easy to define, have a look at this article before scrolling down:
