You’ve heard of passkeys, right? They’re quickly becoming the go-to solution for online security, because they’re a safer alternative to traditional passwords. Passkeys use something called cryptography to keep your details secure. This makes them much harder to hack than old-fashioned passwords. More businesses are using passkeys now – and companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft are already fully onboard. Amazon already has more than 175 million customers using passkeys to secure their accounts. But it’s always been a hassle to transfer passkeys between different platforms. This is where the FIDO Alliance comes in. The group, which develops passkey technology, is working to make sure you can move your passkeys between different password managers easily. The FIDO Alliance is introducing two new standards – the Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF) – to make this process smoother and more secure for businesses everywhere. This is great news, because soon you’ll be able to switch password managers without worrying about compromising on security. Ready to use passkeys in your business? We can help, get in touch. #Passkeys #CyberSecurity #FIDOAlliance #ITSupportSingapore #WeManageSmallBusinessIT

Spyware is a growing threat, and even companies like Google are raising alarms about the “real-world harm” it can cause. But what exactly is spyware, and how can you protect your business from it? Simply put, spyware is a type of malicious software that installs itself secretly on your device. It then gathers sensitive information like passwords and bank details – and it could even grab data from your camera and microphone too. Spyware is sneaky, because it’s easy to end up with but hard to detect. Sometimes, you don’t even need to click a link to put yourself at risk. Spyware like Pegasus and Predator can target anyone, including small businesses. It’s important to be aware of the risks and take action to safeguard your devices. Keep your systems updated and make sure you use the latest security software. Don’t click suspicious links or download files that you don’t 100% trust. While security software does help, it can't catch everything. Make sure your whole team is aware of the risks, knows how to stay protected, and receives regular security awareness training. If you notice your device acting strangely or becoming unusually slow, it’s worth taking a closer look.

Microsoft’s been leading the way in AI with its Copilot assistant for a while now. It’s already had a big impact on businesses by helping to automate tasks across popular apps like Word, Excel, and Teams. Now it looks like it could get even smarter – with a feature that’s like something out of a futuristic movie! A recent Microsoft patent reveals that the company might be building an update that lets Copilot create live images based on what you say during meetings and presentations. Imagine talking about a project in Teams and as you speak, Copilot creates real-time visuals that change based on your conversation. It could make it so much easier to explain complex ideas – and it could make meetings more engaging, especially if people on your team learn better with visual aids. While this feature hasn’t been released yet (and it’s possible that it might never be rolled out), it’s clear that Microsoft is continuing to push the boundaries of how AI can be used to help business owners communicate and collaborate. However you make use of AI in your business, it’s an exciting time to be using Copilot. What would you and your team like Copilot to take care of next? #Copilot #AI #Microsoft #ITSupportSingapore #WeManageSmallBusinessIT

Did you install the recent Windows 11 update, known as KB5043145? If you did, you might have experienced a few frustrating issues, like random restarts, Wi-Fi problems, or even the dreaded blue screen of death. Turns out, a lot of people had issues after the update. But the good news is that Microsoft has stepped in with a quick fix called the 'Known Issue Rollback' (KIR). The KIR is a feature that reverses any troublesome parts of the recent update without uninstalling the entire thing. And the best bit is that you don’t have to lift a finger to sort it, as it will automatically be applied as part of your Windows Update. It might take up to 24 hours for the update to kick in, but you may be able to speed things up by restarting your PC. Although the issues with the latest update can be annoying, Microsoft is known for quickly addressing problems. The next big Windows update will be available soon, and that’s one you won’t want to miss. Using Windows in your business? We can help you keep your systems updated, get in touch. #Windows11 #Microsoft #UpdateIssues #ITSupportSingapore #WeManageSmallBusinessIT

There’s been a huge rise lately in phishing emails pretending to be from Microsoft, and they’re getting even harder to spot. At first glance, phishing emails can look 100% legit. The sender’s address can seem genuine, the wording can be spot on, and the design can look completely professional. And now scammers are adding things like privacy policies and links to Microsoft pages to fool you even more. Scary. Falling for one of these scams could lead to malware (a harmful type of software that can mess up your computer or steal your information) or ransomware (a type of malware that locks you out of your files until you pay a ransom). This is why it’s so important to make sure your team knows what to look out for. You should also consider using tools like multi-factor authentication on all your devices (we can help with this). Have you or your team seen any of these phishing emails? #PhishingEmails #Microsoft #CyberSecurity #ITSupportSingapore #WeManageSmallBusinessIT
