3 Settings To Change On Your Employees’ Browser Today

Safer Internet Day is here, and while the global conversation often turns to big concepts like AI ethics and infrastructure security, we at OXEN Technology believe in the power of Simple IT. Sometimes, the most effective security measures aren't expensive software overhauls—they are simple toggles sitting right in the tools your team uses every single day.  For most modern businesses, the web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) is the new office. It’s where email lives, where documents are signed, and where data is accessed. It’s also the primary doorway for cyber threats.  To celebrate Safer Internet Day, we’re sharing three high-impact browser settings you - or your IT admin - should change on your employees' browsers today to instantly…

Data Privacy Day: High Priority – Privacy is Gold HolidaySecurity

Data Privacy Day: High Priority – Privacy is Gold

It’s Data Privacy Day, and while it might not be the kind of holiday that calls for greeting cards or family dinners, it’s arguably one of the most important dates on the IT calendar.  At OXEN Technology, we talk about data protection every single day. But today, we want to shift the perspective a little. Instead of thinking of data privacy as a compliance checklist or a technical hurdle, think of it in terms of value.  Think of your data as gold.  In the digital age, personal and business information is the new currency. It is what cybercriminals are mining for. They aren’t just looking for chaos; they…

The Case for Email Security: Why Protecting Your Inbox Protects Your Entire Business CybersecuritySecurity

The Case for Email Security: Why Protecting Your Inbox Protects Your Entire Business

Cybersecurity attacks aren’t usually loud or dramatic. In fact, most breaches start quietly—with a single compromised email account. Email remains the #1 attack vector for cybercriminals, and today’s threats are more advanced, more targeted, and more costly than ever. That’s why organizations can no longer rely on spam filters and hope for the best. True protection requires comprehensive email security, backed by multi-factor authentication and strong identity protection. This is the case for building all three into your cybersecurity strategy. Email is the New Front Door, and Attackers Know It More than 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with email. Criminals…

Windows 11: The Clock Has Run Out on Windows 10

You can still get ahead of the scramble if you act now. I’ve worked through multiple operating system sunsets, and the pattern is always the same. Early adopters move first. Careful planners follow. The cautious majority comes next. And now? We’re down to the last wave, where…
