You may have heard of “phishing,” where cyber criminals use email or text messages to steal money and/or financial data from unsuspecting recipients. Well, now, we are facing another skyrocketing cyber scam called “vishing.” This type of attack is where criminals use social engineering techniques to convince people to share confidential data. The term is a combination of “voice,” and “phishing.”

If your company has recently suffered from a data breach or a ransomware attack, then you know how costly it can be.

Servers are at the heart of most small- and medium-sized business (SMBs) operations. But with the strain that most SMBs put on their servers, one of the most important maintenance variables is temperature management. Understanding why keeping your servers cool will help you implement measures that can prevent them from crashing, which can lead to data loss and reduced network reliability.
