What is Cyber Protection and does my business really need it?

Cyber protection provides peace of mind and total protection through various monitoring, security, and backup tools to mention a few. If your business cannot afford to pay large sums of Ransom money and/or losing data, then you already know the answer. Some of the reasons why we believe Cyber Protection and Australian Essential 8 compliance is so important to any business are: Small business owners run mostly on very strict budgets especially for their security measures. Adhoc IT Support provides for very little to no protection. Simply having Anti-Virus software is not enough. Cyber Insurance is hard to get and very restrictive on coverage. The cyber-attack ransom costs can cripple a business. The recovery costs alone can become the business downfall. "Does this sound like your business?"  Read more here

Why Ethernet will always beat WiFi.
16th January 2024
Why Ethernet will always beat WiFi.

While both Ethernet and WiFi have their own merits, Ethernet is often considered superior in certain aspects, leading to the argument that Ethernet will always beat WiFi in certain scenarios. Here are some reasons why Ethernet is often favoured: 1. **Speed and Reliability:** - Ethernet generally provides faster and more reliable network connections compared to WiFi. Wired connections are less prone to interference, signal loss, or fluctuations in speed, which can be common issues with wireless connections. 2. **Consistent Performance:** - Ethernet connections offer consistent and predictable performance, making them ideal for applications that require a stable and constant data transfer rate. This is crucial for tasks like business, online gaming, video streaming, or large file transfers. 3. **Security:** - Wired connections are considered more secure than wireless connections. Ethernet networks are harder to hack into since physical access to the network is required. This makes them a preferred choice for organisations with stringent security requirements. 4. **Less Susceptible to Interference:** - WiFi signals can be affected by interference from other electronic devices, neighbouring WiFi networks, or physical obstacles. Ethernet cables, being shielded, are less susceptible to external interference, providing a more reliable connection. 5. **No Signal Degradation with Distance:** - Ethernet cables can maintain a consistent level of performance over longer distances without the signal degradation that can occur with WiFi over extended ranges. 6. **Better for Bandwidth-Intensive Applications:** - Ethernet is often preferred for applications that demand high bandwidth, such as large-scale data transfers, video editing, or running data-intensive applications. It ensures a more stable and responsive connection in such scenarios. 7. **Reduced Latency:** - Ethernet connections typically have lower latency compared to WiFi. Lower latency is crucial for real-time applications like business applications, online gaming and video conferencing. 8. **Scalability:** - Ethernet networks are generally easier to scale in terms of adding more devices or expanding the network. WiFi networks can become congested with an increasing number of connected devices, leading to performance issues. However, it's important to note that WiFi technology continues to advance, and for many users, the convenience and flexibility of wireless connections outweigh the advantages of Ethernet. Additionally, in certain situations, like in residential settings or mobile environments, WiFi might be the preferred choice despite its limitations. The choice between Ethernet and WiFi depends on specific use cases, requirements, and preferences.
