When you think of the dark web, images of shadowy figures and illicit activities might spring to mind. Unfortunately for businesses, the dark web isn't just a place of intrigue; it’s where your stolen data goes to get shared and sold.

Today’s cyberthreats are invisible, they’re malicious, and they can bring a business to its knees. For many small businesses, cybersecurity feels like a distant problem—a concern for the corporate giants with sprawling server farms. Unfortunately, that’s a dangerous misconception. Every business, regardless of size, is on the front line.

It’s the summer solstice tonight, the official start of the summer season. While most of us want to focus on honing our grilling skills and soaking up as much sun as possible, we can’t afford to let our cybersecurity awareness falter as a result.

Let’s review how you can stay secure while enjoying the season.

Think of your business information that includes customer details, sales figures, product lists and more. All of that data is stored in your business’ databases. As a result, you need to understand how they work and what you need to do to best manage them and the data they contain. 

Here at NDYNAMICS, we help businesses in Silicon Valley make sense of their technology every day. We’ve noticed folks often have similar questions about databases, so let's clear them up with some simple answers. Did you know, by the way, that the first "databases" were essentially just well-organized paper records? We've come a long way!

Today, we want to discuss why your employees are a cybersecurity threat and what you can do to mitigate it.
