This post was updated on July 7, 2025 Work pressure and irregular staffing make any holiday or travel season the perfect occasion for threat actors. Besides direct attacks on your infrastructure, phishing and other scams targeting employees become more successful through exploiting communication and staffing gaps. Routine maintenance also becomes more difficult with fewer (qualified) hands to do the job. And if there are any remote or hybrid employees in the mix, it looks like you (sysadmin, tech consultant, designated IT person) will be the go-to person, even if you’re technically away on the beach somewhere along the equator. But

When it comes to keeping your personal information secure, don’t take anyone at their word — use encryption. Since the first Data Privacy Day back in 2007, online privacy threats have multiplied. On top of more traditional threats like phishing — which has been around since at least the early 1990s — users today face more sophisticated risks, including those linked to the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, “older” threats remain highly relevant, as evidenced by a recent wave of ransomware attacks that not only lock user data but now have evolved to also threaten to leak

We’ve talked about how we can use SSD cache to reduce latency and accelerate transfer speeds. We’ve also explained the differences between consumer and enterprise SSDs, and why for sustained performance reasons we suggest the latter. Consumer and enterprise SSDs are two broad categories that encompass a wide range of performance profiles. Due to differences in how vendors test and rate their products, buying based off advertised numbers is not enough. In today’s post, we’ll explore how NAND types affect performance significantly, and why this should matter to your next purchasing decision. NAND flash types NAND flash memory data is

Have you been tasked with finding and comparing different backup solutions, only to become overwhelmed with various options, an avalanche of features, and abundant licensing models from the very start? If you’re looking for a backup solution, this post will hopefully give you some insight and help you steer clear of the potential pricing pitfalls. To begin with, there are two types of business models in the backup market: Backup hardware & backup software sold separately All-in-one integrated backup appliance For most companies, one of the major reasons they simply purchase backup software is that they can leverage their existing

How a once enterprise-only technology was brought to Wi-Fi routers – and what challenges we have tackled. Once upon a time, we protected ourselves against cyber attacks by installing antivirus programs on computers. Then we entered the IoT era in which everything is connected – even baby monitors and video doorbells can be hacked. Tech-savvy users have long learned to set up firewall rules, but no matter how granular they are, the rules are static by nature. What if we can have automatic, network-wide protection that keeps itself up to date? This was the question we had in mind when

To increase productivity and reduce costs. The enterprise workforce has long been spread across multiple office sites. But today they’re also working from living rooms, airports, coffee shops and other remote locations. In fact, research shows that nearly two-thirds of organizations today have remote workers. This new reality presents several IT and data management challenges. With remote teams, file sharing can be cumbersome and slow down productivity due to poor bandwidth. Moreover, if your organization lacks a centralized data management system, storage usage will increase due to unnecessary redundancies. You’ll also risk losing critical data without centralized backup and recovery. With

Modern data storage offers unique benefits that many businesses may find surprising. Everyone knows that data storage is fundamental to businesses today.
