Your employees might be the biggest cybersecurity risk in your business – and not just because they’re prone to click phishing e-mails or reuse passwords. It’s because they’re using apps your IT team doesn’t even know about.

This is called Shadow IT, and it’s one of the fastest-growing security risks for businesses today. Employees download and use unauthorized apps, software and cloud services – often with good intentions – but in reality they’re creating massive security vulnerabilities without even realizing it.

A recent analysis of the most damaging software attacks revealed that many cybersecurity guides overlook critical protections, leaving systems exposed to threats. However, developers can adopt practical steps to enhance their defenses significantly.

Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the recently released DeepSeek have revolutionized how we interact with technology, offering assistance with almost every task imaginable — from drafting e-mails and generating content to writing your grocery list while keeping it within your budget

Think ransomware is your worst nightmare? Think again.

Hackers have found a new way to hold your business hostage — and it may be even more ruthless than encryption. It’s called data extortion, and it’s changing the rules of the game.
