Harmony
When Paul McCartney released We All Stand Together (aka The Frog Chorus) in 1984, critics dismissed it as uncool. Maybe so, but he had a point. Like it or not, we’re all connected.
Unfortunately it’s easiest to see how interconnected the world is when things go wrong. Researcher Jonathan Lusthaus has tracked one of these chains: Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to Western economic sanctions, leading to highly educated but underemployed Russian tech professionals – protected by the state – turning to ransomware attacks on U.S. businesses.
But being connected is not only a source of risk. We do it because it lets organizations support and empower their employees, their partners and their communities.
Bryley Systems was founded on that idea. Before the web even existed, Gavin Livingstone recognized the power of connected technology to help people collaborate, share ideas and fulfill their potential. Organizations that prioritize collaboration recognize this, too. They understand they are part of a network of relationships, expertise and unexpected synergies (these have historically been the foundation for much innovation and sustained growth).
Being in this together is not just Paul-McCartneyesque comfort – it’s where opportunities begin.
Reach out and let’s talk about how Bryley can help your organization succeed through secure, computer-enabled connections.

Why You Should Care About Business Email Compromise
… within a week of my business partner and me taking over the retail space, we were visited by a firefighter in a firefighting suit who said that because the business had changed hands he needed to inspect the location for safety violations. He walked around and pointed out problems with extension cords, wiring, circuits, fixtures and junction boxes and left us with a notice saying that if we did not have his substantial violations corrected within 30-days the doors would be padlocked. We panicked.
But it turns out the firefighter’s uniform, a sign of trust, had been exploited to intimidate us. This mirrors what happens with Business Email Compromise (BEC). Like the firefighter used a symbol of trust to gain access, BEC attackers use trusted email communication to infiltrate your organization and steal funds … [6 min. read] Continue Reading?>
