Why outsourcing your managed IT support just makes sense ????
Outsourcing your IT support always beats doing it yourself
Meet John, John was a business owner who never gave much thought to his IT support and management. John was a go-getter, a true DIY enthusiast, a firm believer in the power of self-reliance. When he first launched his business, he handled everything himself, from creating marketing campaigns to unclogging the office sink.
John’s IT setup was no exception.
Armed with his laptop and a can-do attitude, he embraced the role of the IT hero. He thought, “Why pay someone else when I can do it myself?”
John soon realised that his DIY attitude to IT support came with a hefty price tag. Not just in terms of money, but in time and growth opportunity.
Read more in our latest blog post about the harsh reality John faced when he realised how much time and opportunity he lost while trying to manage his own IT.
Did you know about Google and Yahoos new DMARC Policy???
A major shift in the email landscape is happening to combat phishing scams. Email authentication is becoming a requirement for email service providers. It’s crucial to your online presence and communication to pay attention to this shift.
Google and Yahoo are two of the world’s largest email providers. They have implemented a new DMARC policy that took effect in February 2024. This policy makes email authentication essential. It’s targeted at businesses sending emails through Gmail and Yahoo Mail.
What is DMARC & Why is it important?
DMARC is an email validation system designed to protect a company's email domain from being used for email spoofing and phishing scams. It works by authenticating email messages sent from your domain, ensuring that only authorised senders can use your domain name to send emails. Helping prevent scammers from using your domain name in spoofing attempts.
The Benefits of Implementing DMARC:
Implementing DMARC isn’t just about complying with new policies. It offers a range of benefits for your business:

The significance of security awareness training and simulated phishing?????
According to the Insider Data Breach Survey, approximately?84%?of breaches are caused by human error. To mitigate this risk, organisations should prioritise a comprehensive approach to security awareness training by combining?the use of a security awareness training platform with Intuity’s tailored security awareness training.
Educated employees?are better equipped to identify and respond to real threats. Using a security awareness training and simulated platform allows employees to interactively learn about social engineering,?password management, and?privacy. The reporting and analytics element of the platform provides insights into user behavior and the effectiveness of training modules.
Simulated phishing is particularly important as it helps users recognise real phishing attempts or suspicious behavior. Comprehensive security awareness training also fosters a security-conscious culture where employees feel?safe?and are more likely to raise safety concerns and report incidents.
Intuity’s tailored security awareness training offers?custom industry-specific workshops?designed to address unique business needs. These?interactive courses focus on critical security awareness areas.
REMEMBER! Trained and informed employees are your first line of defence acting as a human firewall. ?????
