Say, have you heard anything about supply chains lately? Of course, you have. This phrase has entered the zeitgeist with more gusto than Taylor Swift oozing rizz in a Chiefs jersey. When we talk about the price of things, be they groceries or concert tickets, the conversation inevitably turns to someone remarking on “the supply chain,” and the rest of us nod knowingly. Which...

Unfortunately, hackers exploit that information to execute phishing attacks. Social media platforms did not only experience more attacks in 2022, but it’s also become the fastest...

Leveraging a spirit of competition to drive engagement and create a security culture Gamification is a popular concept these days, and for good reason.

Social networking overlaps corporate and personal lives, and so should the mission to create a culture of security awareness. It’s true.
