25.01.2022 So far this year Scamwatch has received over 18,000 reports of scams directed at People aged 24 and under. These young people reported losing a combined total of more than $4.1 million to threat based scams where scammers often pretend to be from government departments and rely on fear, intimidation, and people’s instinct to comply with authority. These scams are mainly phone-based and impersonate various officials, such as police, ATO officers or government investigators. - ...If you’re not sure whether a call is legitimate, hang up and call the company directly by finding their contact details yourself - Never send money or give credit card details or personal information to anyone you don’t know or trust You can also download the ACCC’s Little Black Book of Scams, this book is recognised internationally as an important tool for individuals and small businesses to learn about the most common scams to look out for.

18.01.2022 Regardless of your industry, you almost certainly have some form of email retention regulations to comply with (such as ATO document retention policies).

Contact the team at Arafura Connect to discuss your mail archiving requirements and how we can help.

16.01.2022 In recent times there have been many cases of Microsoft 365 (formally Office 365) accounts being hacked, emails being intercepted and phishing emails being sent out to clients. To ensure the safety of any sensitive information you may have in your Microsoft 365 files and to help protect your clients from the threat of phishing attacks, the activation of two-step verification (also known as multi-factor authentication or MFA) is a must. To set up MFA simply log into your Micro...soft account, click on Update your security info, click on More security options, click on Set up two-step verification and then follow the prompts. If help is required in the setup of MFA, we are able to assist by providing step by step guides, and by creating recovery email addresses.

16.01.2022 2020 has changed the way in which many of us do business, everyone from the self-employed right through to multi-national companies have had to make changes in one way or another. Hackers have adapted to this change in atmosphere and have designed a new business model dubbed Exploits as a Service (EaaS). These hackers, which are known as actors, are targeting businesses by disguising themselves as service providers, they have designed what is essentially a 9-5 business with p...ersonalised support, project managers, and sales teams all proving advice and remote support in relation to your business information and communications technology (ICT). While you are receiving remote support from these actors they are installing backdoor access onto your ICT assets so that they can later steal data or encrypt system data and backups to render it unusable. This is done with the intent of asking for a ransom so that your data can then be restored back to working order. We say working as there is no guarantee that they will also remove that backdoor access. To help you better understand how secure your business ICT is we can run a free business security audit on your business ICT and, if required, we can also provide you with pricing for a solution that will help to improve the security of your business ICT.

14.01.2022 What would it mean for your business if you could not access your main computer system for a day, a week or even a month? In January this year Toll Group fell victim to a cyberattack which took them offline for over a month, this not only affected internal operations but it also had an impact on customer relationships. Due to systems going offline Toll Group no longer had package tracking available to customers and staff, and therefore they had customers moving their business... to competitors. Toll Group then fell victim to a cyberattack again in May, due to experience from the first attack their offline time was reduced by half, however in business terms this is still too long. Toll Group has been reported to now have a one year cyber resilience program in place. To ensure your business system is secure you can; - Book a free cyber security audit with us which will help identify any areas where an attack could slip through - Ensure you are regularly backing up your system so that, should you experience an attack that compromises your data, no ransom needs to be paid, your system just needs to be rebuilt ransomware free - Ensure you are regularly training staff on how to identify an attack

09.01.2022 Are phone systems just for large companies? Not at all, a phone system can advance your internal phone policies and improve your customer service quality no matter what the size of your business is. With a phone system in place, your phone system can automatically answer calls with a recorded greeting and an options menu for your caller to select from, ie accounts select 1, sales select 2. Inbound hunt groups can be created for different groups within the company, so that wh...en a caller selects 1 all phones in the accounts team will ring and, if there is no answer, you can choose to have the call diverted to an overflow group giving your customers a person to speak with at all times. Calls can be put on hold so that they are available for any extension to pick up, calls can be transferred to another extension, or forwarded to any number. Calls can be recorded so that you have a record of conversations to listen to for training, clarification, and confirmation. Voicemail is built in for all extensions and it has an easy to use interface. Voicemails can also be delivered by email as an MP3 file that can be played on any device so there is no need to be at your desk to check your messages. These are just some of the features that can be added to your phone system and there are many more available to choose from, let us know what you want to achieve by installing phone system and we'll let you know how we can make it happen.

06.01.2022 We all know that batteries run out of power at some point like when the batteries in the remote went flat when you tried to tune into your favourite TV show, or when you found out that the car had a flat battery right when you were leaving for the airport, or how your phone battery just doesn't seem to last as long as it used to. UPS batteries are no different and so, especially in the lead up to the wet season, it is good practice to test your UPS to ensure that it will perform as expected in the event of a power surge or power outage. Our team can assist with UPS testing and, in the event where aging batteries are found, we can provide pricing on a replacement UPS and/or replacement batteries if the situation allows (ie does not exceed the cost of a replacement UPS, the existing UPS is not aging etc).

01.01.2022 You have worked hard to grow your business in the NT and now with extra staff in the office comes the need to centralise your accounting system, documents, spreadsheets, emails and more to ensure that all staff have access to the most current versions of all this business data. Traditionally, to centralise your business data, you would purchase a high end computer, called a server, to be installed in your office and all of your business data would then be installed on this se...rver so that your staff can access it from a PC/laptop/thin client on their desk. There are now options available where you can skip the purchase of a server and instead opt for a hosted solution, this means that you have all of your business data stored on a server in a data centre. Hosted solutions save you the initial out of pocket expense that comes with purchasing a server. Hosted solutions can also be ideal for those businesses who have staff on the road or spread across multiple locations. Connected Office is your local hosting solution that is housed in our Darwin data centre, keeping your data local. https://www.connectedoffice.com.au/
