    Top 5 Cybercrimes: Ways to Protect Yourself on the Internet

    Cybercrime is a broad term that refers to illegal activities that take place in the digital world. It includes everything from hacking, malware, and viruses to fraud, theft, and identity theft, as well as other crimes committed using computer technology.

    Cybersecurity is a key concern for all businesses. It is a growing threat to businesses across industries. This is particularly impacting growing areas of digital activity such as e-commerce (also a key driver of the global economy). Cybercrime costs the global economy billions of dollars a year and it’s getting worse with each passing year. Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that by the end of this year, the cost of cybercrime could reach 6 trillion dollars worldwide, and it could reach 10.5 trillion dollars by 2025. In this guest post George Passidakis talks about the top 5 cybercrime and how you can protect yourself and your business on the internet.

  • 5 Key Ways to Boost Your Online Privacy

    5 Key Ways to Boost Your Online Privacy

    Incidents involving the mishandling of consumer data have made headlines recently. Amazon was fined a record $887 million for violating consumer privacy laws, and WhatsApp reportedly lost millions of customers after its privacy policy was updated and proved unpopular due to privacy issues. Recent reports indicate that in response to the pandemic and new legislation, privacy budgets increased by 13% last year to $2.7 million from $2.4 million for the average organization.

    Clearly, privacy is at the top of everyone’s mind as digital footprints have surged in the wake of the pandemic. Privacy has also proved beneficial for organizations, especially small and medium-sized businesses. Recent statistics show us that SMBs have reportedly gained benefits of $3.0 million (typically benefits worth 1.8 times their privacy investment) on average.

    So, more and better privacy is a good thing. In this guest post, Andrew Dalman will talk about key ways in which users can protect their online privacy better. For more information on how your organization can help guarantee employee and user privacy, please reach out to IT security Vancouver.

  • The Launch Accelerator Challenge

    You CAN create a product and pre-sale in 30 days or less—see how

    We love a good challenge! Join the launch accelerator challenge today to build an online course. You’ll create a product in 30 days or less! We just did a new round of The Money Challenge last month and a challenge is often the accountability we need. In The Money Challenge we earn as much money as possible in 21-days via multiple strategies.

    Biggest take away each round we do? That people don’t offer enough ways to get paid. You forget to use your network, forget to create products with content you already have and forget to market what you do have on offer.

    So want to create more products?

    Why not build an online course and launch an online course this year? What about next month? My friends at Teachable have the perfect opportunity to help you get a jumpstart: It’s called the Launch Accelerator Challenge.

  • Traditional Vs Digital Marketing

    Traditional Vs Digital Marketing, What Is Right For You?

    Marketing is a field that changes so quickly that it can sometimes seem hard to keep up. Defined, digital marketing is the use of digital platforms for brand communication, such as websites and social media. If you use social media, you’re probably familiar with the advertisements that appear in your feed—this is digital marketing. Traditional marketing, on the other hand, uses old-fashioned methods like billboards and print ads. Consider television commercials and other ways companies would attempt to be seen by as many people as possible. Traditional marketing used to be pretty much the sole method of marketing until the internet was developed in the 1990s. After all, conventional marketing does not imply that it is outdated. With the ever-increasing desire to leave the digital world, traditional marketing continues to play a vital role in people’s lives.
