Disaster Recovery (DR) Focuses on speed  and continuity . DR ensures your

Microsoft 365 is powerful for businesses — but without proper protection, it’s also one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks. Phishing emails, misconfigurations, and weak security settings can easily compromise an entire organization. Here’s how SMEs can protect their M365 environment before threats strike. 1.

How Phishing & Social Engineering Trick Employees Cybercriminals no longer rely on technical hacks — they target people: Emails that look like IRAS, banks, or suppliers Fake login pages that steal passwords WhatsApp impersonation scams Urgent “payment reque

Why Backup Still Matters — And What “Best” Actually Means In today’s digital business world, data isn’t just files—it’s operations, customer experience and continuity.

Traditional antivirus can’t handle today’s cyber threats. Modern attacks are faster, smarter, and often bypass outdated AV systems — making SMEs highly vulnerable. 1. Why Antivirus Is No Longer Enough Ransomware  now disables or bypasses AV. Phishing  tricks employees — antivirus cannot stop fake emails or login pages. Insider/accidental threats  (unsafe downloads, USB devices) go undetected. Zero-day & fileless attacks  don’t leave files for AV to scan. AV only reacts after
