Protect
Protect is one of TechFinitive.com’s five key pillars. Here, we provide in-depth analysis of emerging threats to businesses along with a wealth of articles that will never go out of date – because the sad truth is that attackers will always be after our data.
We have a particular focus on ransomware, from simple guides to the key terms to the real-world after effects of a phishing attack. But we also want to provide practical advice on how to protect your business, whether that’s putting defensive measures in place or reminding people of the basics of cyber hygiene.
One of our key advantages is the depth and breadth of our writers’ experience. Davey Winder is one of the UK’s most respected cybersecurity journalists, having won numerous awards (it helps that he was once a hacker himself) and been covering cybersecurity ever since it became a “thing” in the 1990s.
We also draw on the knowledge that KG Orphinades earns in their day job, advising local small businesses on how to stay secure (KG also runs a website dedicated to VPNs). Last, and most definitely not least, Simon Edwards is CEO and founder of SE Labs, one of the world’s leading security testing labs, and a board member of the Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organization (AMTSO).
