🔐 Cybersecurity Tip of the Day: Lock Your Screens It sounds simple, but one of the easiest ways to protect your business data is to lock your screen whenever you step away from your device—even for a minute. ⚠️ Why it matters: Unattended devices can expose sensitive files or emails. Shared offices, co-working spaces, or even family members at home can accidentally access business systems. Physical access = the fastest shortcut for attackers. ✅ How to stay safe: Get in the habit of hitting Windows key + L (Windows) or Control + Command + Q (Mac) when you step away. Set your devices to auto-lock after a few minutes of inactivity. Use a strong password, PIN, or biometric login to unlock. Cybersecurity isn’t always high-tech—sometimes it’s about simple, everyday habits. At Forge, we help businesses build the right security habits and systems to stay protected.

🚨 TP-Link Routers Under Attack — and they're fueling global Microsoft 365 breaches. Read more here : https://lnkd.in/gB9i3mpA Two newly disclosed vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-50224 & CVE-2025-9377) in end-of-service TP-Link routers are being exploited by the Quad7 botnet, a tool linked to Chinese threat actors like Storm-0940. 🎯 The goal? Credential theft → Remote code execution → Brute-force attacks on Microsoft 365 accounts. 🛑 What’s worse? Many affected routers are no longer supported, meaning patches may never come. That leaves millions of unpatched endpoints wide open—especially if remote administration is exposed. 🔐 If you're in IT, security, or managing infrastructure: Disable remote admin access immediately Audit for outdated TP-Link models in your network Educate teams about password spray defenses 👇 Don't wait for a breach report to land on your desk. Tag a colleague who needs to see this. #CyberSecurity #CISA #ThreatAdvisory #TPLink #Router #EOL #Exploited #Quad7 #botnet  #HiveforceLabs #HivePro

In cybersecurity, timing is critical. Threat actors often strike when businesses are least prepared — weekends, holidays, or outside normal hours when response times slow down. A scheduled security sweep ensures your systems are reinforced before those high-risk windows. At AELGN, we integrate regular security maintenance into operations to reduce exposure and strengthen resilience: Credential Rotation – Updating privileged account passwords and access keys to block credential-based intrusions. Patch Deployment – Applying pending software and OS updates to close known vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. Endpoint Integrity Checks – Scanning for malware, unauthorized changes, or suspicious processes across all devices. This structured, proactive approach keeps attack surfaces minimal, accelerates incident response, and safeguards continuity — the core of resilient IT operations. #AELGNDefense #CyberSecurityPH #ProactiveProtection

🛠️ IT Support Is More Than Fixing Computers When people think of IT support, they often imagine troubleshooting hardware or installing software. But real IT support goes beyond that—it's about ensuring business continuity, security, and efficiency. ✅ Strong IT support can: Reduce downtime and increase productivity Protect systems from cyber threats Improve user experience for staff and clients Enable smooth adoption of new technologies In today’s digital workplace, IT support is not just a back-end function—it’s a strategic enabler of success. #ITSupport #DigitalTransformation #Cybersecurity #BusinessContinuity

📈 Something shifted in 2024: endpoints became the main way attackers get into OT systems. We're seeing this across industries. What makes this tough is what happens when OT gets hit. IT breaches mean stolen data. OT breaches mean production stops, safety problems, or power outages. Here's the pattern: over half of OT ransomware starts with third-party vendor access. These are users you don't employ, connecting from devices you don't control, into environments that demand 99.999% uptime. The challenges are pretty consistent:  💻 Vendor laptops that may carry malware from other sites  🔑 Dormant access that stays active for weeks after techs leave  🛜 VPNs that give broad network access once compromised  Most teams have spent years locking down remote access. But local access? Still running on shared passwords and trust.  Anyone else seeing this shift in their environments? How are you handling session visibility across both remote and local access?

🔒 OT security isn’t just a technical challenge; it’s a mission-critical priority. It's fantastic to be part of a team that’s redefining what secure access looks like for the world’s most important critical infrastructure. 👀 Today we understand that 'User Endpoints are the # 1 Threat Vector for Cyber Attacks on Critical Infrastructure.' We have to get away from Access meaning Connectivity! This new post from XONA captures it perfectly: ACCESS should not mean EXPOSURE. No more VPN sprawl. No more jump server band-aids. Just fast, secure, fully auditable access from any browser, with zero exposure to insecure user endpoints. In fact, a recent DeNexus study found that "92% of industrial sites are at risk from unsecured remote services". The Xona Platform delivers exactly what our customers need: protection, control, and simplicity. We’re empowering the heroes who keep the lights on, the water clean, and the economy moving. #Cybersecurity #OTsecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #ZeroTrust #SecureAccess #Xona #SecureRemoteAccess
