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!
Log4j is still out there and must not be ignored – so I have highlighted the NCSC advice and added a link to all the Log4j articles I have posted.
