Strong Password Behavior

Strong password behavior is the foundation of many aspects of a cybersecurity program. There are still people that have the same password for all their accounts. As an MSP, you can’t be there when they create passwords to oversee the process. But you can enable measures that will force them to engage with good habits.

Dashboard Tag Filtering

Dashboard Tag Filtering

Grouping items together with tags is an effective way to put order to the items that you write, collect, and store electronically.  Tagging records allows you to label and group data in the same way.  Breach Secure Now has built upon that approach with a new update for our partners! Our latest ESS update of dashboard tag filtering allows you to group statistics for users together using a particular tag – or across multiple tags! 

Annual Training Now on Mobile Devices

We are excited to announce that our annual training is now mobile device ready!  Your clients can now complete their full training courses just as they did on their desktop, but in a mobile format as well. 

What Does This Mean?

You will now be able to offer your client’s users access to watch the Annual Training class videos on mobile devices.  Additionally, they will be able to take the training quizzes there as well.  And access to their certificate?  It’s available via their mobile device too!

Breach Secure Now Integrates With CloudRadial

Since Breach Secure Now was founded by an MSP. We have strong roots in understanding our partners’ unique opportunities and challenges. We are proud to be a company that focuses our platform and solutions on the needs of the MSP community and its clients. How do we accomplish that? By continuously seeking partner feedback to help drive our roadmap. We work to ensure that BSN can function complementary to the other solutions that help our partners run their businesses.

Pre-Employment Cybersecurity Assessment

Last year our team developed an innovative and one-of-a-kind security risk assessment, with a one-of-a-kind name. The Baseline Employee Cybersecurity Assessment, or BECA, was released in December and has been successfully used by our MSP partners as both a prospecting tool for prospective clients and a relationship-building tool for their existing clients!

Since then, our team has been working to leverage the success of BECA to create its HR doppelgänger: The Pre-Employment Cybersecurity Assessment.

What Is Malvertising?

Oxford Dictionary defines malvertising as ‘the practice of incorporating malware in online advertisements.’  Short for malicious software, or malware advertising, this is the practice of attacking viewers or consumers with fraudulent information that is inserted into sometimes (but not always) legitimate advertisements.

How Does It Work

Malvertising works in conjunction with the online advertising ecosystem by initiating multiple redirects after the user clicks or views an infected advertisement.

What Is Vishing?

Cybercriminal activity has many terms that are part of the mainstream vernacular. The dark web, breaches, and most people have heard of phishing, even if they don’t know how to recognize a fraudulent email.   In fact, Google recently warned nearly 5 million people in a recent week about potentially harmful sites that they are about to visit!  FIVE MILLION in one week. And with that in mind, if you aren’t using our Catch Phish in-email phishing training tool, you’ll want to make sure you integrate that into your offering asap!

Scam Alert: Interview & Job Scams

Scam Alert: Interview & Job Scams

There are some topics that might seem irrelevant or not important when it comes to alerting your clients with regard to their online safety and cybersecurity.  One of those might be about the process of looking at other jobs for a career change or simply to supplement their current income.  It’s likely that your client’s employees are not going to be forthcoming that they are, or might be, looking for a new or additional job in the future. But as their IT liaison, you’d be remiss to not mention current scams with them.  And we are hearing a lot about interview scams. 

Increase Engagement & Awareness In Your Ongoing Training Program

Staying engaged and interacting with your clients just got easier.  And in the cybersecurity realm, no one can afford to stay complacent and ‘forget’ just how integral smart and secure habits are when it comes to lowering your risk of a breach.  You can’t be there onsite for your clients and calling them daily to remind them of the risk that accompanies poor behaviors is not an easier – or wise – path to choose. 

While human interaction and actual conversations are genuinely valued, we are so inundated with information on an ongoing basis, that sometimes it can be overwhelming to take on more, especially in our already busy lives. And, with so much information flooding the internet, it can be difficult to determine what pieces of information and advice are legitimate and worth listening to.

Initial Access Brokers: Who Are They?

Imagine if a locksmith created a key for your home or business, then sold a copy of that key to a burglar.  They didn’t steal your belongings, but they provided access, making them integral to the process for it to occur.  Initial Access Brokers (IABs) work in a similar fashion.  The name says it all, they provide the initial access to your account and do this by brokering or selling your credentials to the cybercriminals who will then take it a step further and steal data or deploy ransomware for extortion of funds.
