I want you to take a second and imagine the thing you dread the most in the world. The thing that brings you the most anxiety when you know it’s coming up. Everybody has something. Got it? I bet at least a quarter of you thought of an appointment with your doctor or dentist. There’s just something so nerve-wracking about going to the doctor’s because you know that they’re going to tell you something that you don’t like. Maybe you need to exercise more. Maybe you need to change your diet. Maybe you need to get blood drawn. The thought of any of these options is enough to make a shiver run up your spine. So why don’t we just not go?
That’s pretty simple. If we don’t go, then we won’t know what’s wrong with us. If we don’t know what’s wrong with us, we won’t be able to fix it. If we don’t fix it, we won’t get better. Well, what if I told you there was something similar to a doctor’s visit that you’ve potentially been putting off? Something that may not affect your physical health but could certainly change your life if you don’t pay attention to it. If you haven’t figured it out yet, what I’m talking about is the dark web.
Cybercriminals use the dark web to buy and sell stolen information. It’s a scary place where a lot of illegal activities go on, but unfortunately, you can’t ignore it. It’s incredibly important to your and your business’s cybersecurity that you are constantly and thoroughly monitoring the dark web. You need to know if your passwords, emails, addresses, phone number, or even your SSN has been breached so you can deal with it before it becomes a problem. Not knowing whether your data has been breached is just as bad as refusing to go to the doctor because you’re afraid of what they might tell you. You can’t fix the problem if you don’t know what it is.
Luckily, we can provide constant dark web monitoring for you. All you’ll have to do is continue using your cybersecurity strategies and procedures as you have been, and we will tell you if any of your data has been breached. That way if a password or email has been compromised you can change it immediately. And if any of your other sensitive data has been leaked, you can contact the proper authorities. It really is that easy. You may not like what you find once you start dark web monitoring. Ignorance really is bliss. But ignorance also leads to data breaches that can cost you your job, your savings, and everything else.
When you’re sick or hurt, your body tells you, so you have no excuse not to see a doctor. But without dark web monitoring, you won’t be able to tell if your personally identifiable information (PII) has been stolen until it’s too late. Don’t let that happen!

Managing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) for Android with Microsoft Intune
Alright, so today we're going to be talking about the management of bring your own device BYOD for Android devices.

BYO with me in 2025: iOS with User Enrollment in JAMF Pro
It really depends on your company's needs. For example, many companies need to hire 1099 contractors and in such a case they come with their own devices but not the correct security settings or enforcements. Remember BYOD is a security construct. The idea here is that you should be securing the company's sensitive data in all forms. This may involve implementing policies for contractor-owned devices, ensuring that all devices accessing company data meet minimum security standards, and regularly reviewing and updating these standards to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Securing BYOD Email Access: Exploring Strategies in Microsoft 365
In today’s mobile-first world, organizations increasingly rely on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs to empower employees while optimizing costs.

Get more out of scripting than you may expect
Expect is an extension to the Tcl scripting language written by Don Libes. The program automates interactions with programs that expose a text terminal interface. Expect, originally written in 1990 for the Unix platform, has since become available for Microsoft Windows and other systems. Its functionality allows users to interact with these programs through scripted commands, eliminating the need for manual input.
Cybersecurity is more than having the right tools
Processes, cybersecurity is 99% documentation, writing, that's what it is. If you don't enjoy writing policies and procedures, or enforcing them, be aware that this may lead to conflicts with your coworkers. You'll need to communicate clearly and consistently, which can be a challenge for some people.
