Why Your Boss Cares About Device Security (Even at Home)
Working from home feels comfortable for a reason: You use your own Wi-Fi, log in to familiar devices, and work in a space that feels personal rather than corporate.

Why Logging Out Matters More Than You Think
Do you log out of your devices whenever you’re done using them?
You close the laptop, walk away from your desk, or leave an app open because you plan to come back later. It feels harmless, especially during a busy workday. With the rise of required multi-factor authentication, it can add time and frustration when you have to log back in after being away for a few minutes. Unfortunately, staying signed into these accounts actually creates more risk than you may realize.

What Is Business Email Compromise?
How do most major cyber incidents begin? Often, they start with an email.
The message looks normal, the request seems routine, and the email appears to come from a sender you recognize.
