Cloud computing has been in use almost since the beginning of the history of computers themselves. In the early 2000’s, as the internet developed from travel blogs, brochures and chat rooms into the social and technological giant, global network of communications that it is today as a result of the creation of the internet. Since that time, what first began with the image of a world wide web has developed into what is now referred to the cloud. What is the cloud really? It’s the image that has been given to society to help them to conceptualise the way in which we are able to gain access to hardware and software that is not physically in front of us.

Simply put, cloud computing is to IT what Uber is to the transportation industry. You need a ride from A to B but you don’t have your own vehicle. You contact Uber and set up someone to collect you and drop you off where you need to be, and you pay the association transportation fee. Similarly, with cloud computing, you pay a fee for the IT infrastructure that you need, when you need it for as long as you need it. It gets your business from A to B, without you having to purchase the whole vehicle. Its available to you at any time, on-demand, without worrying about maintenance, up-keep, running costs or upgrades. Just like Uber, the infrastructure / vehicle is provided to you at the fraction of the cost and you simply pay for what you need, when you need it. While each organisation will experience the benefits differently, the benefits will be experienced immediately as a direct result of having access to the latest servers, applications or operating systems without the mammoth financial commitment on the hardware and software which is required to provide quality IT support.

What are the benefits of converting your FileMaker?

Ensure your data is secure at all costs! In the digital age, your data is currency for those searching for an easy pay day. Valuable personal information is traced and tracked by not only marketers but also for individuals looking to steal your data for the purposes of defrauding you or your company. Not until you have been at the receiving end of a malicious attack by ransomware, does a person come to understand just how imperative it is to keep your data secure.

Ransomware is a cybercrime whereby data is held for ransom after being accessed via computers and mobile devices which are then locked and held hostage until the victim pays the required ransom. As an individual or organisation, you are an easy target to common types of attacks such as phishing. Phishing (pronounced fishing) is when an email is sent to an unsuspecting recipient, urgently requiring them to download a link or click on an attachment, under the guise of being a highly important piece of information for the recipient. Unsuspecting recipients may click without realizing that they are about to unleash a silent threat into their computers and any network that they happen to be a part of. Phishing can be perpetuated in that the ransomware can be forwarded without the knowledge of the original recipient and before you know it, your entire social and professional community has received a similar link, rendering them vulnerable to the same threat that you have just unknowingly fallen victim to.

The point of ransomware is to access the personal or professional information that is stored on all devices and networks and to lock users out of their own information until a ransom is paid. This type of cyberattack can cost a company an enormous amount of money, not only as a result of the ransom but also as a result of downtime or lack of production. The knock-on effect can be catastrophic. Ransom often presents in the form of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) which is impossible to trace. As with normal hostage situations, once the ransom has been paid, the victim may receive a code or file which will decrypt the attack and release the data.

If you do not already have a plan to prevent a cyberattack on your business, then you may be the next victim of cyber engineering executed by online criminals.
