As always, it’s important to read cybersecurity trends , but don’t skip the basics. Here, we have compiled a list of the top 11 activities that a small business can do today to reduce its cyber risk. 


Over time, "Password" has become an inappropriate name. This should really be thought of as a "password". Instead of a singular word, construct your password as a phrase or short phrase, such as "OneSpanprotectstheworldfr0mdigitalfraud!" it's a much stronger password, but it's still easy to remember. 


Also, remind your employees that this must be a unique password and not used on other sites. One of the biggest vulnerabilities of passwords is the tendency for people to reuse them in all accounts they have. This means that even if a company in which the user has an account is breached, the company's resources are now vulnerable. 

Computer engineering is also a term that can be used to describe a person who has a background in electrical engineering. People who pride themselves on being computer engineers are proficient in computer science, and they can also be involved in hardware or software development.

The use of  artificial intelligence  remains paramount, but it is now necessary to step in and completely re-evaluate the way humans and machines interact within the workplace. Next, let's
