The deadline for income taxes to be filed in the United States has been pushed back to May 17, which means that last-minute tax filers have more time to file their taxes. But it also means that opportunistic cybercriminals have one extra month to steal their personal information and get their hands on sensitive tax documents.

Server virtualization isn’t a new concept. Large enterprises have been relying on it for years to maximize server utilization and uncouple server workloads from physical devices. Today, cloud computing has made the benefits of server virtualization readily available to small and medium-sized businesses, and we explore them below.

The world of business has fallen in love with technology. From day-to-day communication and administration to accounting and HR to solving industry-specific problems, technology now supports all key business areas, but who supports technology?

In large enterprises, IT support is provided by dedicated in-house specialists, whose sole responsibility is to keep the network running.

Last year, remote working became a necessity due to the outbreak of the COVID-19. Many organizations quickly discovered that shifting towards working from home isn’t nearly as simple as allowing employees to use their personal devices for work-related purposes.

The year 2020 is (finally!) over, but the numerous COVID-19 cybersecurity threats it gave us are still with us, making life difficult for organizations large and small.

These threats are especially worrisome for healthcare providers, which are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.

Here’s a common scenario: An organization hires one or two in-house IT professionals to support its IT needs. As the organization grows, its information technology infrastructure becomes more complex, and that’s when management typically chooses to either hire more in-house IT employees or outsource the entire IT to a managed service provider (MSP).

But there’s a third option, one that combines the benefits of having an in-house IT department with the flexibility and cost-efficiency of a third-party vendor.

The year 2020 will be remembered not just for the coronavirus pandemic but also for the massive disruption of established working habits caused by it. And wherever there is a disruption, there are cybercriminals whose goal is to take advantage of the chaos.
