When dealing with cloud computing, one of the top questions we receive at Pendello Solutions is, “Is the cloud safe?” What most people mean by this question is, “How is the cloud a better option than having my data and applications on-premise?” As with anything in today’s business world, security needs to be verified. There are definitely perceptions of the cloud and this week our focus is to take a look at these perceptions and decide truth or myth.

Business Email Compromise and Education

This month at Pendello we have been focusing on Business Email Compromise as the risk is definitely on the rise. If you remember, Business Email Compromise (BEC) is when an organized crime group gains access to your email through deception with the use of spear-phishing, identity theft, email spoofing, malware, and social engineering. In the past two weeks’ blogs, we introduced BECs and the different types of attack attempts. This week we are delving into how to recognize attack attempts. As 93% of all investigated data breaches can be traced back to a specific employee, we at Pendello Solutions know that end-user education is your best defense. So this month Pendello is bringing you some guidelines to look for when dealing with your day to day communications.

This month, Pendello Solutions will be highlighting the not very well known keyboard shortcuts to Microsoft Outlook.

On the road again, I can’t wait to get on the road again….or can we? Many jobs require a great deal of pavement time. Whether that is to and from the office or for many, the car is your office and your time on the road is where you literally work. This is why we at Pendello were so excited for Ford’s announcement at CES 2019 that by 2022 they will be equipping all cars with C-V2 5G technology. This new and exciting technology will allow for car-to-car communications and will hopefully save lives, money and the hassle that is associated with accidents.

CES 2019 which is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association is coming to a close tomorrow and once again has wowed the world with new announcements of groundbreaking technology and solutions. This global stage has been the meeting place for all things new and innovative for over 50 years and once again, has showcased a wealth of new and incredibly innovative technologies. Themes this year are Smart Homes, 5G, AI and massive TVs and monitors. As of today, the following are Pendello’s top three spotlights on new technology that we are excited about.
