As a small-business owner, you always need to look for ways to improve your bottom line and stay ahead of the competition. For instance, implementing cutting-edge IT solutions can help you streamline your workflows, thus improving productivity.

One IT solution you should leverage is artificial intelligence (AI). In this blog post, we will explore what AI is, how it can help your business, and what challenges you will face when implementing AI solutions.

As cyberthreats become more dangerous and prevalent, cybersecurity should become a top priority for businesses of all sizes. Despite this, many organizations still don't take the proper steps to protect their data and systems. To help you understand just how important cybersecurity is, we collected four statistics you need to know:

1. Small businesses experience more attacks than big businesses
Between January 2021 and December 2021, researchers at IT security company Barracuda Networks analyzed millions of emails across thousands of organizations.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses implemented remote work arrangements. While such setups may be convenient for many, they have also made it difficult for employees to compartmentalize their personal and professional lives, increasing the risk of burnout.

In October 2021, Microsoft launched Windows 11, the newest version of its popular operating system (OS). The OS has a revamped user interface, offers better support, and packs new features that individuals and businesses can take advantage of.

This is a common situation for many workers today.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a powerful solution to protect your user accounts from cyberattacks. MFA adds one or more authentication requirements aside from a password, such as a one-time passcode (OTP), facial or fingerprint scan, app notification, or physical key.

Many people have been working from home since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While working remotely saves employees from stressful commutes and helps businesses save money, it also poses a few challenges. For instance, some employees may have issues collaborating with their colleagues.

Many cyberattacks start with phishing campaigns. And if you fail to implement some form of email authentication, your company can suffer financial and reputational damage. Fortunately, there’s a solution that you can use to protect your organization: Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC).

DMARC: An introduction

To understand DMARC, we must first take a look at DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF), the two email authentication standards that DMARC is built upon.

Many of us show and experience kindness in our daily lives. In the workplace, however, it is not always perceived as essential, especially given how competitive some office cultures can be.

In reality, kindness should be a crucial component of any organization’s values.
