What is a passkey, and should your business ditch passwords?

A passkey is a passwordless login that replaces your password with your device's fingerprint, face or PIN, making sign-in both simpler and far harder to hack. Instead of typing something you can forget, reuse or have stolen, you prove who you are with the device already in your hand. For businesses tired of password resets and phishing scares, that's a genuinely different way of working, and it's arriving faster than most people realise.

Cyber security isn't something you buy. It's something you run.

Most businesses are asking the wrong question about their cyber security.

EDR vs XDR vs MDR: what they actually do?

Good security isn't just about the tools you own. It's about whether anyone is actually watching them. Once you accept that, the next question is what to do about it, and that's where it gets confusing, because the answer arrives wrapped in acronyms. EDR. XDR. MDR. Three letters that sound almost identical and seem to promise the same thing.

5 questions to ask your IT provider about security monitoring

Most businesses have spent real money on security. Firewalls, antivirus, email filtering, multi-factor logins: the defences are there, doing the job of keeping threats out. But one layer rarely shows up on the invoice and matters more than any of them: the layer that watches for threats already inside, and the person who acts when the alarm sounds. That layer is security monitoring, and it's the part most often missing.

A layered approach to security

What a modern car can teach you about protecting your business. Modern cyber security, like modern car safety, is built from layers that work together. Most businesses your size already have a decent set of tools in place, so the question is no longer whether you have them. It is whether they work as one system, and whether someone is watching them.

AI in cyber security: help or hindrance?

What actually changed for mid-sized businesses, and what's worth doing about it. AI cuts both ways in cyber security. It gives a stretched security team real leverage, detecting malware, catching phishing, and spotting threats faster than fixed rules or people could alone, and at the same time it hands attackers cheaper, more convincing ways in, from flawless phishing emails to voice-cloned finance fraud.
