Long passwords? ✅ MFA switched on? ✅ Staff trained not to click dodgy links? ✅

You'd think your accounts were locked up tight. But there's an attack that needs none of that - not your password, not your MFA code. 😬

It's called session hijacking. Attackers steal the little token that keeps you logged in - and the system waves them through as if they were you.

Our latest blog explains how it works (with a festival wristband analogy that makes it click), why it slips past your usual defences, and what actually helps 👇

Ever been asked whether you're Cyber Essentials certified - and had to admit you're not quite sure what that means? 🛡️

You're far from alone. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme that shows you've got the fundamental security controls in place to protect your business from the most common cyber attacks.

Here's why it matters beyond the badge: more and more contracts, tenders and larger clients now expect it before they'll work with you. So it's not just good security - it can be the thing that wins (or loses) you business. 💼

The catch? Working out exactly what's needed can feel like a maze if you're doing it alone. That's where a bit of expert guidance makes all the difference.

Just when you thought phishing was old news, the numbers say otherwise. 📈

New analysis from Cisco Talos - based on real incidents their responders were actually called in to deal with - found phishing was the way attackers got in for just over half of all cases last quarter. That's up from a third the quarter before. 😬

And it's not the clumsy phishing of old. Attackers are now hiding QR codes inside PDF attachments to slip past email filters, and hosting their fake login pages on trusted platforms like Microsoft 365 and SharePoint so nothing looks out of place.

The takeaway isn't "train harder and hope" - it's that the basics still matter enormously: phishing-resistant MFA, keeping an eye out for odd account activity, and not assuming your email filter catches everything.

A genuinely eye-opening read 👉

Someone hands in their notice. HR sorts the paperwork, there's a leaving card going round, the pub's booked for Friday. 🎉

But one job often gets rushed or forgotten completely - properly closing off their access to your systems. 🔐

The day someone walks out, they can still reach your emails, shared drives, cloud apps and more. And an old account nobody's watching is a gift to an attacker.

Our latest blog is a practical offboarding checklist - what to disable, what to revoke, and the sneaky bits everyone forgets 👇

Quick question: when something goes wrong with your IT, who picks it up? 🤔

If the answer is "whoever's least busy" or "the one person in the office who's a bit good with computers" - that's not a plan, that's a gamble. 🎲

Managed IT support means you've got an entire team behind you, quietly keeping things running, spotting problems before they become disasters, and picking up the phone when you need them. Your own IT department - just without the in-house salary bill. 💻

We look after businesses across the East Midlands, from Melton and Leicester to Nottingham and beyond, so they can get on with what they're actually good at.

Fewer headaches, less downtime, more time back in your day 👇

You've sorted antivirus. You've rolled out MFA. You've even booked the team in for phishing training. 💻

So why is your office Wi-Fi still a weak spot? 📡

For a lot of businesses, everything sits on one big flat network - the accounts laptop, the smart TV, the wireless printer, and the visitor in reception all sharing the same connection. Which means one dodgy guest device can potentially reach your servers and your files.

Our latest blog breaks down why your guest Wi-Fi could be a blind spot, the risk of forgotten "rogue" devices, and how a bit of sensible network separation keeps everything locked down 👇

A reminder that your security is only as strong as the apps you've connected to your systems. 🔐

Attackers recently broke into Klue, a sales intelligence platform, by exploiting a compromised legacy credential tied to one of its integrations. From there, they obtained OAuth tokens linking Klue to platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot and SharePoint - exposing data across hundreds of connected customer accounts, including major cybersecurity firms like Huntress, Snyk and HackerOne.

It's a good example of why every third-party connector on your business systems is worth keeping an eye on, not just your own logins. 👀

That little "approve this login?" notification on your phone - yes, it's worth the extra ten seconds. 📱✅

That's multi-factor authentication (MFA, also known as 2FA) in action, and it's one of the simplest, most effective things your business can switch on to stay secure.

No new hardware, no big rollout - just a setting most of you already have access to. We break down what it actually is and why it's worth it in our latest blog 👇

That little "update available" notification you keep dismissing? It's doing more than adding new features 🔧

Most updates are quietly patching known security holes - gaps that have already been identified, and in some cases, are actively being exploited by the time the patch lands.

The good news: it doesn't need to be disruptive. A few minutes, scheduled outside busy hours, is usually all it takes to stay protected 💻
