Under Control: The Challenges of Designing for the Submarine Environment
Control systems are an intrinsic and abundant part of modern life; they control everything from personal aspects of our lives, such as our central heating and the engines of our cars, to massive industrial automation, in industries like factories, distribution warehouses and transportation links. They are responsible for not only completing a task, but ensuring that it is done quickly, efficiently and safely. This article will discuss the constraints imposed on a control system with huge responsibilities, which must function within a challenging, underwater environment.
Open at Your Own Risk: Business Email Compromise
Have you heard about Business Email Compromise? If it hasn’t happened to your company yet, you’re one of the lucky ones.
The development of the Internet and email in the last few decades has had a profound impact on businesses and the way they operate. As industry has shifted to using electronic communication, we are hearing about Business Email Compromises (BEC) more and more. From our clients to news reports, BEC is growing as one of the largest compromise categories under the Cyber Security umbrella. According to the latest report by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), since 2016 32,000 BECs have been reported, totalling approximately 9 Billon US Dollars stolen from companies in America alone. Between 2013 and 2018 a combined total of 12 Billion US Dollars was estimated lost due to this fraud internationally. However, these numbers are based only on the losses that are actually reported to government organisations, meaning many more businesses have been, and could be, at risk.
