Cybersecurity for SMBs, do you know how to protect yourself?
Small and medium-sized businesses are targets of cybercrime. It may sound rigorous and scary, but it is a reality. Many think that their businesses are not going to be of interest and overlook the cybersecurity of the SMB, but in the long run, they discover that this is a mistake.

The use of gold as money began thousands of years ago – as gold was the most resistant to aging and elements. During the early and high Middle Ages, Byzantine gold Solidus was the de-facto standard through the Europe and Mediterranean.

Choose a backup provider
Eventually, everyone needs to make a backup, but how to do it? What software to use?

Showdown: Encrypted Cloud Storage vs. External Hard Drives
Gone are the days when people used personal computers just to write letters or work on spreadsheets. No, these days, computers (and even our smartphones) help us do everything from booking reservations and conversing with friends and family to filing our taxes and everything in between. Also, let us not forget how many of us use our systems as entertainment sources with social media and video streaming. Consequently, we store and keep more data on our devices than ever before. And, if you’re like most people, a lot of that data is stuff you don’t want to lose. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss backing up your data to external hard drives and encrypted cloud storage, as well as the pros and cons of each.
