On our part, we've come up with ways to transform?your business to prepare for these uncertainties.

Think Like A hacker Webinar
Last week, we hosted a?webinar?where we invited top cybersecurity experts to share their wealth of experience on how you can secure your online assets against hackers. As we all know, one of the biggest threats to businesses is cyber attacks by online criminals.
According to a report by a global cybersecurity firm, Sophos, Nigerian businesses spent $3.46 million in rectifying cyberattacks in 2021. They also paid over $700,000 as ransom to hackers. No businesses want to pay this huge sum of money during this harsh economic climate. Hence the need for you to watch a playback of the webinar.

Tech News Update
Microsoft Teams will soon let you collaboratively edit Excel spreadsheets in meetings
Microsoft is bringing Excel directly into Teams meetings. Excel Live is a new way for Teams meeting participants to edit Excel spreadsheets together in real-time. It’s part of a trio of new features coming to Teams that continue Microsoft’s focus on hybrid work. Teams is also getting video clips that can be shared in chats and collaborative annotations that allow colleagues to doodle on top of content during Teams meetings.
Excel Live is part of Microsoft’s?Live Share?functionality?in Microsoft Teams that the company detailed earlier this year. “What it does is it allows you in a Teams meeting to edit a workbook live in real-time, right in that meeting stage itself,” explains Nicole Herskowitz, vice president of Microsoft Teams, in an interview with?The Verge. “People can just jump in and start editing an Excel workbook, and they never have to leave the meeting screen.”
This neat integration of Excel should arrive sometime in August, and it will complement a new collaborative annotations feature in Teams that launches today. Collaborative annotations let all meeting participants draw, type, or react on top of any content that’s shared in a meeting. It’s essentially the same tools you’d find in Microsoft’s Whiteboard app, but you don’t have to launch a separate experience or import content to start annotating.
That's all for this month. We still have so much more in stock for you in the second half of?tyear's second halfou updated on future publications of Inside.
Till next time when we meet again, stay transformed ??
Your friendly neighbourhood transformer, Dara.?
