Is 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) really beneficial? 🔒

In a word: Yes. Relying solely on passwords is no longer enough. Even if a phishing attack successfully captures login credentials, 2FA introduces an additional layer of security that can prevent unauthorised access.

By requiring a second form of verification, be it a text code or an authenticator app, 2FA significantly reduces the risk of security breaches. It's a simple step that offers powerful protection.

If you haven't yet, consider enabling 2FA for all your critical accounts.

Did you know? 🤔

A staggering 82% of all company data breaches are caused by human error 🤯

While it's essential to focus on the technical aspect of cybersecurity, it's equally crucial to consider the human element. One oversight or mistake can lead to significant vulnerabilities and potential loss.

The solution? Education and awareness.

Prioritise cybersecurity awareness in the workplace. It's not just about technology; it's about the people using it. Protect your assets, reputation, and future.

Shōwa era on Akord

Many incredible photos from the Shōwa era had been posted to Twitter by a now-removed account.

With permission from the account holder, we archived and published the photos to Akord. Had we not backed up all these photos, many of them might have been completely lost.

You can view this extraordinary collection of nearly 10,000 photos here 👇

Cloud storage offers a cheap, scalable solution, but on the flip side, long-term data accessibility and integrity cannot be guaranteed.

Permanently storing data has more upfront costs and you don't have the delete option, but the decentralised blockchain can ensure data is immutable and perpetually accessible.

Why choose one when you can have the best of both worlds?

With Akord, you can enjoy the flexibility of cloud storage and the stability of permanent storage, and layer both with our end-to-end encryption for that extra blanket of security 🔐l

No more trade-offs. Just seamless, secure, and cost-effective data management.

Most SMBs believe they’re too small to be targeted by ransomware; this is a dangerous misconception.

This misplaced confidence, coupled with the fact that digital security is a low priority for most SMBs, makes them easy targets.

That’s why in 2021, 82% of ransomware attacks were targeted at SMBs.

So, what are you doing to protect your business?
