A lot of Australians think they can spot a scam and believe they would know what to do if they were targeted. However, the truth is scammers are getting more creative as days go by. They mimic contact details, branding and logos, and language to seem legitimate people or organisations and to trick even the smartest. Unfortunately, the community lost more than $25 million to email scams last year.
A lot of companies identify as ‘offline’ and assume they don’t need cyber protection. However, virtually all businesses in Australia rely on some form of digital communication or services, such as staff email addresses, websites, social media for marketing, online banking, and e-commerce or an online store. It’s almost impossible to find a business that doesn’t use email or some form of digitized communication. What’s worrisome is that most businesses who identified a cyber-attack did so via a fraudulent email.
Australian businesses with a turnover worth at least AUD 3 million per year must comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under the Privacy Act. The federal government implemented the regulation on 22 February 2018, to ensure that public and private sector groups continue to invest in information security. Failure to do so can be costly for your business.
As you now know, content is king. The leaders in our industry, and not just our industry now, but historically our leaders forever have always been the ones that had content, the ones that had the hold of the content were the ones that were leading the nations. You need to make sure you’ve got great quality content and you’ve got something for people to come to your site and see. Today we’re going to be talking about, instead of content and creation, we’re going to be talking about how to get that in front of people’s eyes.
How to use influence and grow your business? Santa Fe was founded by the Spanish in 1610, and it’s the oldest state capitol in the US. One of the great things about this area is there are so many different influences: the Spanish founders, the Tiwa people who were the natives, Europeans, and modern Mexicans. It makes for a fantastic city!

Content, content, content. Content is king and ultimately if you want to get anywhere with your website or with any of the stuff that you’re producing, you need content and you need great quality content. I’m going to be talking about how to find content for those podcasts and this will also relate to content for blogs, content for YouTube videos, content for anything and everything. So stay tuned. This is the way it’s going to work.
Cybersecurity is an integral part of running a business, particularly for Aussies, to prevent unwarranted access to your network. Smart devices and Internet access have become necessities, making information security indispensable against viruses. When hit by a cyberattack, it may take years to bounce back, not to mention retrieve the lost or stolen data. With a regular IT audit and other cybersecurity practices, cyber threats will be minimized.
Australian business owners without clear IT security policies will become more vulnerable to attacks in 2019 than in previous years. Malicious software, or malware, continues to evolve with the discovery of new threats that no longer require the use of executable files. As early as July 2018, IT experts have included TrickBot malware in types of cyber-attacks. It emerged as one of the latest threats that year when even large companies, which have robust IT support systems, had trouble reducing their risk exposure.
So you’ve been listening to my content for a while and you’ve decided, you know what, let’s do it, let’s create my own podcast. That’s the question that we’re going to be answering today. A number of people have asked us this and we’re going to dive straight in now.
Seligman is one of the birthplaces of Route 66. It’s quite interesting! It’s a quaint little town that’s kept very well with the theme of the way it all works and the way it all looks
After being in business for a while you hear some crazy stories. I’ve been lucky to be involved in a couple of them, and some of them are bad for business and I’m going to be talking today about how they could have been avoided. One of my favourites is this potential client that called me up and they were still in the process of using our services.
An Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) report showed that phishing ranked among the top three scams in 2018. Business owners should be extra mindful of their IT security policies against this type of cyberattack. Companies in the banking, finance, and health care sectors likely need data security more than any other industry because the nature of their business makes them a gold mine of information for hackers.
So the word hack used a lot, especially in my industry. It has been used for many more years than what it has been used everywhere else. But here we are. Nevertheless, let’s go through some ideas on how you can make sure that you have efficient tips on how to organise and attack the work week ahead of you.
Miami…it’s one of the places that really spoke to me because of Miami Vice, probably the most famous TV show around crime that there is. But don’t take my word for it.
How does the late payment of invoices impact small businesses? Now we’ve all been there. You’ve been in business for a while and someone starts paying invoices late. Everything’s all good to start off with, and then they start paying things late. What’s worse is if you’d have to go out and buy a product to allow for it to be sold. Whatever you’re doing, maybe you’re modifying something and then on selling and you’ve had to fork all that money out for the product.
