SHOCK STAT: A third of business owners don’t trust their staff

Do you trust your employees with confidential information?

If you do, you’ll be surprised by this stat…

For a third of small and medium-sized business leaders, the answer is a resounding “no”!

Maybe it’s because Jim from accounting still has his password on a Post-it note under his keyboard? Or perhaps it’s because they’ve been burnt in the past?

Either way, it’s clear that trust isn’t enough when it comes to data security.

We believe the problem isn’t your employees; it’s the lack of good training and security measures.

So, what can you do about it?

Booking training for everyone is an easy first step. It empowers employees with the tools, techniques, and best practices they need to spot potential threats and take appropriate actions.

Think of it this way: well-trained staff pose less of a risk to the overall security of your business’s digital network. They become your first line of defence, helping to improve your company’s security, and significantly reducing the risk of a breach.

Next, there are your security measures. Many companies admit they don’t have sufficient technology or checks to protect confidential information.

This is where we come in. We can help set up your company’s system so that people can only access the data they’re supposed to.

But our job wouldn’t stop there. We can also ensure that your company has adequate policies relating to information sharing, gaining access to confidential data, and what happens when an employee leaves. By doing this we help you create a more secure working environment for everyone.

Here’s the truth: trust isn’t enough in data security. But with the right training and security measures in place, you can transform your employees from potential security risks into your greatest assets.

Are you ready to move from a place of fear and mistrust to one of empowerment and confidence? Get in touch.

Network – Unifi Cloud Controller AP adoption

A fresh out of the box Unifi Access Point has no idea what to do with itself. It starts scanning the local LAN for any controllers to “announce” that it is here and needs configuration. But what about when your controller isn’t on the local network?

We need to tell the AP where the controller resides in order for the announcement to be successful. It’s actually a relatively straightforward thing to solve but requires a few steps which are outlined below.

First, power up your AP and find its IP address. Then use SSH ( Putty https://www.putty.org/ useful for this ) to connect to the AP, the default user and password is ubnt.

You’ll then need your “inform-url” which will look something like http://192.168.0.8:8080/inform. Tell your AP where it can find the controller by running:

# set-inform http://unifi.ktz.domain:8080/inform

Once you’ve done this, the AP should show up almost immediately in the interface of your Unifi controller saying ‘pending adoption’.

Adopt the AP and enjoy the rest of your day. Configuration for the site will be automatically applied.

Post Adoption SSH note

Note that after adoption the SSH password will be changed from ubnt/ubnt. You can modify the post adoption Unifi SSH username and password in the controller software by enabling ‘advanced features’ and then configuring your desired credentials under Site -> Device Authentication.
