Be Proactive in Keeping Your Smart Office Safe

How Can Your Office Become Smarter?IT security

For years, workplace environments in Australia have prioritised design upgrades over improvements in office technologies, which is partly evident through a lack of IT security planning, particularly among SMEs. Some business owners think that smart offices should only have state-of-the-art equipment, functional spaces, and other modern features. However, your vulnerability to a cyber attack becomes higher with each device or equipment connected to the Internet.

How to Concentrate in an Open Plan Office

How to Concentrate in an Open Plan Office

How to Concentrate in an Open Plan OfficeConcentrating in an Open Plan Office

Who here has ever tried to concentrate while on the phone in a restaurant? It sucks, but a lot of the open office design plans are kind of heading in the same direction. You’re right next to your fellow coworkers and they’re there on the phone and you’re trying to concentrate. Your thoughts are going a million miles an hour and you’re trying to work out how you can get this project and task finished, but all you can hear is them talking to their partner about whatever the argument they had the other night. So many people have concentration issues and I can attest to it myself. When I first started the business, we had a very small office. We had four of us crammed in there and it was like we’re on top of each other. Heaven forbid someone drops a fart. We all had to go on a quick smoke or break because we’d be dead. It was quite a small arrangement. But you got to do what you got to do, and so we had to work with that environment.

The truth is it is a fantastic medium to market your business but is it the right medium for you? Now I don’t know the business you’re in and if I did, that would be creepy because I haven’t met you and if I have met you and you’re watching my podcast, thank you very much.

1000+ SMBs Deal With POS Malware Without Knowing It

How can you secure your POS system? Australian retailers can enhance their point-of-sale (POS) security by knowing the vulnerabilities of all their devices. Online criminals target POS devices because they consider them to be the weakest links in an interconnected system. Once a hacker successfully compromises the payment network, your customer data security becomes at risk since they will often steal credit card numbers and personal identification numbers (PINs).

Website Platform Migration: Guide and StrategyWebsite Platform Migration: Guide and Strategy

Today I’m going to talk about website migration, and it’s not the type of website migration where you’re going from one host to another. Generally speaking, that’s pretty straightforward and only requires potentially relicensing of software that you’re using. What we’re going be talking about is migrating platforms. So you might be on Joomla and you migrate into WordPress; you’re on WordPress, you’re migrating to Joomla. Or, you’re just migrating to a really, really new version of WordPress and you’re on a really, really old version. Or, you might not even know what WordPress and Joomla are, and you just know that you’re changing and getting a new website. Either way, if you’ve had any sort of traffic, you want to make sure that you are capturing those leads.

In Australia, data breaches are not uncommon. According to reports by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), there were approximately 812 data breaches in 2018 alone. This quarter, a single incident compromised the information of 10 million Aussies.
