Maintaining business as usual
Euan Birch, Security Operations Lead at Proact UK How are we protecting our customers at this troubling time? It’s been an interesting turn of events.

Euan Birch, Security Operations Lead at Proact UK Humans have been at war for 92% of the past 3,400 years. We have only been at peace for approximately 268 of those 3,400 years. That’s just 7 years out of 100. We define war as being a conflict with over 1,000 deaths, but now ‘war’ is […]
Public Wi-Fi, evil twins and the men in the middle
Tim Simons, UK Security Product Manager at Proact Public Wi-Fi is everywhere – airports, trains, cafes, hotels – and we all like how convenient it is.
