#Cybersecurity Tip:

Make startup/shutdown a safety check. Use automated tests that run at boot, restart, or shutdown to verify privacy and security features. If something looks off, get alerts and follow a simple recovery plan. Keep an easy activity log.

🚨 In IT hiring: don’t trust the CV, verify the person.
Call ex-employers, ask colleagues, debunk the résumé.
The wrong hire can be your biggest cyber risk.

RedTiger Malware: The Hacker’s New Weapon Targeting Gamers Worldwide

A Silent War Behind the Screens Cybercriminals are turning the gaming world into a hunting ground. A powerful tool once meant to protect networks—RedTiger—has now been corrupted into a weapon for mass data theft. What started as a legitimate red-teaming framework for ethical hackers has evolved into a sophisticated infostealer, targeting gamers, streamers, and even casual Discord users around the globe.

Cyber Risk Tip:
Start with a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to identify mission-critical functions and IT systems. Prioritize risks by potential losses, then run a cost-benefit analysis to justify controls. In cloud, replicate across regions for resilience. #CyberSecurity #BIA #Cloud

#Cybersecurity Tip:
Now is the time to create a security checklist for 2026.

 Map out & classify all your #data.  Create a #taxonomy of every information type to tailor security controls based on impact and #risk.  Regularly review your inventory to ensure no data is left unprotected.
