2017 was a rough year for cybersecurity. Major companies like Equifax and Yahoo were in the news for massive and preventable data breaches, while high-profile ransomware like WannaCry threatened to cripple a variety of organizations, most notably in the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, 2017 is hardly an anomaly. I've seen firsthand how even the tiniest crack in a company's defenses can wreak considerable havoc. Hackers are becoming smarter: They find out what people are doing to protect against their attacks and develop ways to get around it. Still, most of the biggest data breaches could have been (and can be) prevented. Knowing what we now know about cyberattacks and given our experience in 2017, any organizational breach in 2018 could quickly become unforgivable by the public. And if companies in every industry don't start taking security seriously, this past year will be considered mild compared with what's to come - especially with hackers starting to use...

The world of interconnected devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to go mass market, with the smart devices market already worth tens of billions of Dollars annually. However, many consumers are rightfully concerned about how secure these devices actually are. “There is no bullet proof security for IoT devices,” says MyCyberCare’s Simon Campbell-Young, adding that consumers need to think of other ways to protect themselves. “Let’s face it. A connected world is simply a wider surface area that is vulnerable to attack. Hackers have already managed to breach Internet-connected camera systems, toys, Smart TVs and even baby monitors. Consumers need to think of ways to protect themselves, and to see they are covered for any damages resulting should an event occur.” According to him, traditional insurance players are growing aware of the fact that cyber risk is much more than a data breach. The IoT and other digital technologies go hand in hand with a slew of new threats t...

We live in the Internet of Everything - a world of convenience where connected devices can control our homes, our cars, medical devices and so much more. With Gartner projecting 21 billion devices connecting to the internet by 2020, the attack surface is unimaginably large, and the internet of things (IoT) is essentially a playground for cyber criminals. As we've seen time and again, hackers will exploit new and unknown vulnerabilities, and even discover old vulnerabilities hidden in IoT devices. At some point, their successful exploitations will result in a major catastrophe. Our quality of life today has become absolutely dependent on the resilience of IoT. However, we continue to find vulnerabilities in smart home IoT devices, medical devices, connected cars, printers and more. We simply cannot keep up with the expanding attack surface, which makes it impossible to identify, monitor and manage the entire breadth of these devices. At the same time, we're also facing a maj...

Whether you're a tech geek or not, I doubt you have all of these on hand! Here are a few basic tech essentials you never knew you needed: Portable Power Bank We all have those times when we're unexpectedly faced with a flashing red battery symbol. Even when you put your phone in battery saver mode, it probably won't last as long as you need it to. In college, we're always on the go and may not have outlets available wherever we need them. Therefore, having a portable battery on hand to charge your phone is a huge convenience! You'll be thankful for having a power bank with you after your phone dies, especially when there's no outlet nearby.  When looking for a portable battery, ask yourself these questions:   •  How much will this battery charge?   •  Is this compact? Keyboard Skin We're college students, so a lot of the times when we eat, we eat in front of our laptops. It's just reality. So we pretty much always have crumbs on our key...

While most of us are living in the cloud, there are still some things that need to be printed out on paper. Printing from a Chromebook is possible, but you will need to have the right equipment and set up. Buy a Google Cloud-compatible printer If you don't already own a printer - or you want to replace your existing model - the best thing you can do is buy a printer that works with Google Cloud Print. Google Cloud Print lets users print from a Chromebook, Windows or Mac computer using the Chrome browser, and iOS and Android devices. You'll need to tie your Gmail account to the printer before using it for the first time, but after that just keep the printer connected to a network and you can print from any of your devices. Better yet, Google Cloud printers aren't very expensive: Amazon has models as low as $38. Even if you have other laptops or desktops, you can still use these printers over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB. See Google Cloud printers at Amazon Convert an old...
