So it turns out server backups and BCDR tools and processes are operational imperatives to ensure simple, rapid, secure data and system restorations.

Starting with questions like, how long could your company afford to operate without access to critical data or systems should set the appropriate foundation for all that follows. Selecting and employing the right BCDR strategy, tools and processes are core to operational recovery in the event of data loss or system outages, and will help to speed up recovery time for days or weeks to even just minutes or hours. In today’s episode, our cast of cyber experts will shed a light on a thing or two about server backups and BCDR and what solutions are out there in the marketplace.

In today’s episode, we’re moving to the next link in the chain and diving deep into the topic of remote access security. We all want the simplicity of working anywhere – from any device, anytime. Few would argue that the pandemic has done a lot to rapidly push this desire to reality for industries and workforces globally. BUT, the big question on any security-conscious IT practitioner’s mind should be, “How do we secure access for our growing and diverse remote workforce – without the burden of complexity?” Stay tuned to hear from our partners about the “Do’s, Don’ts, and Gotchas” of secure remote access and their available solutions to ensure protection.

I know getting productive out of the office on the couch has been a blessing and curse for all of us. But I must say I’m still a fan. So the big question on the security conscious IT practitioner mindset needs to be how do we secure access for our growing and diverse remote workforce without the burden of complexity?

Okay, let’s meet the guys. Back on the vlog again, ladies and gentlemen, we have Independent Cybersecurity Consultant, Jim Bowers. Jim. You’re famous now? Jim Bowers Yeah. I probably won’t talk about the magazine because I don’t think many people crochet. I do extreme crocheting, and it’s very interesting. But no, I’m really excited to be here. Lauren, I’ve said it 100 times, I’m a big fan of the TOP21. I think it...

Welcome back to “Who’s In Your Cloud?” 21 Steps to Secure, Reliable, Trusted Technology. I’m Lauren Lev, Marketing Manager for TechOnPurpose, and this is Episode 14: Wireless Security Looking back at last week’s episode, we discussed network security and the critical need for advanced threat protection. With the help of our cyber expert cast, we shared how to avoid widespread disruption and damage to an organization’s bottom line and reputation with the use of their solutions. In today’s episode, we’re taking a deeper dive into TOPcyber21 best security practice number 14 – wireless security. We’ve all connected to a store, hotel, or coffee shop WiFi. It’s easy, free to use, and the driving force behind the work-from-anywhere culture. More often than not, wireless apps obtain our location data, usage, and personal information, which we are too easily and unknowingly authorizing at the expense of our need to “connect now.” So are we truly aware of the risk of using these WiFi connections? In reality, unauthorized users and malicious actors’ ability to easily intercept and access your sensitive information has never been greater. Join us as we hear from our partners about their available solutions and best practices to ensure the security of your data and devices. We’re very thankful to our cyber expert cast joining us today from Cisco, Fortinet and Intelisys, as they help us educate our clients and prospects on the road to #secure, reliable, trusted technology! As a reminder, we began releasing a new episode every Tuesday, starting 10/20/21 and will continue to do so through late spring of 2022, with brief time off for holidays with family and friends. We’ll also follow each Tuesday episode release with subsequent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday posts highlighting our (3) contributing solution partners from that week’s episode. We hope you’ll find this an immersive, hopefully simple, educational, and enjoyable experience. So how do you tune in? To easily follow the journey ahead, we’ve diversified your access options to all (23) of our coming episodes.

Alright, today’s episode- Wireless Security. While I’m clearly no cyber expert like the rest of our cast, this is actually a topic I’m a little bit familiar with. We’ve all connected to a work, store, hotel or coffee shop WiFi. It’s easy, free, and the driving force behind the “work from anywhere” culture. My favorite part is being the envy of all of my work from the office friends as I sip daiquiris on a beach or drink some lattes from my French balcony, all while still bringing you guys this very entertaining vlog series. But do we honestly know how risky these WiFi connections can be? Do you know how easy it is for people to intercept and read your passwords and data? Did you know that when you hit that accept button to connect to these WiFi networks, your connections, browsing history and personal data are most likely logged and potentially sold to third-parties. More often than not, the wireless apps we all use provide location data, usage, and personal information that we are too easily and unknowingly authorizing at the expense of our need to connect right now. Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I want to be getting free daiquiris from the...
