Business Technology and Security

Deep Learning is a type of artificial intelligence.

The goal of AI is to mimic the human brain. 

HUMANS?

We all have employees that have made mistakes at one time or another. Maybe they had an overwhelming schedule that caused them to slip up, or maybe they simply typed in an email address incorrectly and hit send.

The same could be said for our cyberhealth.  How’s your Healthcare Cybersecurity Program? Did you make adjustments to meet the challenges?

There are many reasons why many major businesses have transitioned to different types of cloud computing. The cloud offers a great deal of flexibility for companies, allowing them to access programs remotely and maintain a great deal of storage. However, it’s not a foolproof system. Information can be corrupted, programs can crash, and perhaps most concerning, security threats can compromise crucial information.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUILD A CULTURE OF SECURITY AWARENESS?

The risks to all businesses due to cybersecurity breaches are well-documented and they are growing.  Most experts advise businesses to plan for a breach due to the likelihood of an occurrence.  Your IT staff have likely also been asking for additional resources to help combat the very real threats of bad actors that want to steal your data.  As an owner or executive at your company, what is your role in all of this?

Most everyone understands application software updates. We do it all the time with our phone apps, and most have seen a notification to update your computer operating system. They often give us new features, but, more importantly, they improve security.
