COVID-19 is affecting companies all around the globe and nearly all companies have already implemented work from home plans. As companies start to make this switch, it is important to continue to conduct business as usual, as best as possible. In order to do this, we recommend that whenever possible, meetings should be conducted via video. Virtual meetings help you maintain contact, relationships, and human interactions and also helps keep everyone focused during the meeting.

For many CEOs, leading through a crisis is nothing new, whether that be a cyber breach, a natural disaster, or a financial emergency. But now, the entire globe is facing something never before experienced with the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. In many ways, the word “crisis” does not even begin to describe the uncertainty of what the world – let alone your individual company – needs to prepare to face and overcome.

Ransomware is not a new phenomenon but for cybercriminals it has become a popular technique to use. In a ransomware attack, cybercriminals block access to a business or individual’s computer system and hold data hostage until a ransom is paid. Here, cybercriminals have just one goal - to receive payment from the victim. Even if the victim is able to pay the ransom, there is no guarantee the criminal will provide the decryption key to release the data.
Recently, ransomware attacks have become significant threats to corporations, cities, and even nations. In the third quarter of 2019, the average ransomware payout increased to $41,000, a 13% increase from the second quarter. Also in 2019, 55% of SMBs paid cybercriminals to recover their stolen data. If nothing else, 2019 proved that ransomware is still a profitable business for cybercriminals and it will continue to get worse.

Last year, I met the managing partner of a law firm who was in the middle of moving to a new practice management system. The firm had been on the existing software solution for close to two decades, and Jim (as we’ll call him here), was a bit anxious about the change. When I asked him why, he said that overall they were happy with the software they’d grown to know and master all these years, but “it’s not in the cloud, and everyone says we need to be in the cloud, so we’re changing” (to a web-based system).
Fast forward to last week when Jim and I caught up and he’s now looking to change back. “The new system is sleek and cool, and it’s nice that it’s in the cloud, but it just doesn’t do some of the things that we need, and even after all the work we put into migration, we’ve decided to switch back. Can you help us?” he asked me.

On January 14, 2020, Microsoft Windows 7 reached end of life. What does this mean? Microsoft is no longer providing technical support, software patches, or security updates for Windows 7. If your firm is still running on Windows 7, you are probably questioning – what do I do now? Windows 7 will still work, however, it is strongly recommended to update your systems to the latest software, such as Windows 10, as soon as possible.
