Information security (infosec) should be at the top of the agenda for any business that operates in a data-driven and digital environment – and to be honest, which business today doesn’t? But when hiring for infosec positions, it’s important that business leaders understand the differences between cybersecurity versus a computer forensics role.

Businesses have never been more vulnerable than they are today. While cybercrime cost companies an already whopping US$300 billion in 2013, damages have since skyrocketed to US$945 billion in 2020. That’s 300% growth in just a short span of seven years. The worst part is, that we can expect this number to continue rising exponentially in the coming decade.

SecureAge Technology recently announced the relaunch and renaming of SecureAPlus which is taking place in May 2022. The new upgraded version is now known as CatchPulse. In this post, we would like to share with our existing home customers how this change will affect your SecureAPlus Essentials and Pro installations.

CatchPulse, formerly known as SecureAPlus, is the must-have cybersecurity solution for your home as it protects against the increasing threat of cyberattacks - without forcing you to become a cybersecurity expert. In 2021, ransomware attacks increased by a whopping 105% and malicious malware still continues to infiltrate devices with over 5.4 billion attacks recorded in the last year alone.

If you ask the question “who is responsible for a company’s cybersecurity,” the answer you’ll most likely hear is no longer the CTO, or the IT department, but instead the CEO. In fact, Gartner believes that 75% of CEOs will be held personally liable for cyber and physical breaches by 2024. That means there’s no more passing the buck on this complex issue.

Covid-19 pushed the boundaries of both healthcare and technology providers, and nudged people to finally embrace telehealth services. In fact, telehealth has proven to be the next frontier for the healthcare industry as it minimizes the need for in-person patient, clinic, or hospital visits which prevents overwhelming our healthcare systems. A McKinsey report shared that the use of telehealth in the US in 2021 surged 38 times compared to pre-pandemic levels.
