Microsoft's #Outlook is a great way to keep yourself organised, connected and productive! Here’s a quick start guide just for you, take a look! 👇

As we welcome to the team and our partners back from the Christmas break, we also welcome the 5th week of our 7-week series on Microsoft's top 7 trends in #Cybersecurity! Lets take a look. 👇 Trend 5 - Less than 30% of SMBs manage their security in-house With the limited resources and in-house expertise in SMB's, security can be a difficult hurdle. The way SMB's can address this, would be by partnering with a Managed Service Provider (MSP), such as ctm Information Technology, who can manage IT services, including security, taking that need for resources or expertise in-house, off your hands. As well as day-to-day support, MSP's can act as strategic partners to help adapt to new business requirements and threats, continually pushing your business forward and securing it. If you'd like to hear more about how we can allow you more time to focus on your business objectives whilst keeping up-to-date and secure, get in touch!

Microsoft 365's suite of apps are fast and reliable, but on occasion, you might experience an issue with the applications on your device. For example, Outlook, may halt from sending or receiving emails, and sometimes the issue might be more deeply rooted than something obvious than slow internet. But don't worry, Microsoft offer web versions of the applications as well! Take a look at the below and see what it can do 👇 https://lnkd.in/eaHpz7s3

Today is the 4th week of our 7-week series on Microsoft's top 7 trends in #Cybersecurity, and it will be the last until we return from the Christmas period! Let's take a look at this weeks trend 👇 Trend 4 - 94% consider cybersecurity critical to their business ✅ As the world of cyber crime evolves, having cybersecurity is no longer innovative, it is required. Up until recent years, MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and Anti-Virus solutions were required, and sufficient. However now, through various developments and techniques, they have been rendered, required but insufficient. Remote working, 'Bring-Your-Own-Device' (BYOD), and new working practices, mean managing work data has become harder and more open to attack. 💻 Using Microsoft, we are able to secure all of these eventualities as they develop, whilst not hindering your teams access to their tools!

Fun way to end my year doing some networking! Last week I attended #TechtonicLive at The Bradfield Centre, with my colleagues Jack Escott and Dani F. talking about #tech, #cybersecurity and #science. Rupert Davey, director here at ctm Information Technology, who sponsored the event, also did a presentation on the importance of cybersecurity. It was very interesting comparing Colorado to intellectual property - and made things much clearer on the importance of a highly secure setup. It was great to meet and chat with Kerri D. and Elizabeth Danylovskaya 🙂

Last Thursday, ctm Information Technology's very own Rupert Davey was at #TechtonicLive in The Bradfield Centre Cambridge, talking about #innovation in the #Cybersecurity sector. Joining Rupert on the panel was James Bradbury, Joelle Garden, and Jane Hutchins offering some really interesting insights on their industries and journeys. 💡 Rupert's metaphor on cybersecurity using his childhood teddy bear Colorado, certainly resonated with the attendee's and there were plenty of questions to fill his 6 minute Q&A window! 🕒 Thanks to Kent Height for organising the event, not to mention the FREE pizza and drinks! Check the below for some pictures that the team Jack Escott, Dani F. and Alyce Gray took!

Onto the 4th of our 7-week series on Microsoft's top 7 trends in #Cybersecurity. Let's dive in 👇 Trend 4 - 94% consider cybersecurity critical to their business Unfortunately, in the modern workplace, cybersecurity has now become a must-have instead of a nice-to-have. It is vital in protecting your business, but importantly, should be deployed so that your users have access to what they need when they need it, without leaving it open to attackers.
