?? Shadow IT: The Security Risk Your Business Might Be Ignoring Not all threats come from outside your business—some come from inside, and your IT team might not even know about them. ?? What is Shadow IT? ?? Employees using unauthorized apps & software for work. ?? Cloud services, file-sharing tools, and messaging platforms outside IT’s control. ?? Devices connected to company networks that bypass security policies. ?? How to Take Back Control: ? Educate employees on the risks of using unapproved software. ? Monitor network activity to detect unsanctioned tools. ? Provide secure alternatives—if employees need a tool, make sure IT is involved in the approval process. ?? If IT doesn’t know about it, they can’t protect it. Secure your business from the inside out with BLOKWORX. #ShadowIT #CyberSecurity #InsiderThreats #DataProtection #ITSecurity #BLOKWORX

?? Are Cybersecurity Vendors Really Putting Clients First? ?? In this week's Safety Brief, we tackled a hard truth: Not every cybersecurity provider is truly in it to have your back. ??

At BLOKWORX, we hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission isn’t just to sell security—it’s to BE security. If your provider isn’t putting you first, ask yourself: Are they really the partner you need? ??
