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!
The Cyber Awareness Month project for October has now finished. Over the month Diana and I have produced a post everyday highlighting cyber security issues that have real impact on businesses today (well two or three of the articles were lighter, you do have to smile sometimes). If you want to catch up with all the articles in the project click this link – it would make an interesting read over a cup of coffee.
Cyber Security Awareness Month – Smart Thinking Solutions
Diana has written a short piece, this week, to get companies thinking about their environmental responsibilities – nothing heavy and not blowing our own trumpet about what we do, just setting the stage for you to think about what you can do to help. It is over on the Octagon site so you will have to follow the link over there.
