If you use Linux on your company's desktop or server computers, you're likely familiar with the security advantages the open-source operating system offers over Windows and Mac. What many people don't realize, however, is that Linux can also rescue a computer crippled by malware. Malware is a frequent issue in the Windows world, and it can be devastating. When a Windows virus strikes, it can become difficult or even impossible to continue using the affected machine. Moreover, prolonged use can further the infection. Here's how Linux can help you recover from such a situation without ever installing it permanently on your PC. Step 1: Get a LiveCD or Live USB LiveCDs and USBs are great because they let you boot a machine directly from the CD or USB stick without accessing the computer's boot records. They allow you to test Linux and can be used when Windows fails. The fastest way to get a LiveCD or USB is to download the .iso file of the Linux distribution you wan...

The Need For Unified Security Google Workspace is where teams collaborate, share ideas, and get work done. But while it makes work easier, it also creates new security challenges. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, finding ways to exploit misconfigurations, steal sensitive data, and hijack user accounts. Many organizations try to secure their environment by piecing together different security tools, hoping that multiple layers of protection will keep them safe.  But in reality, this patchwork approach often creates blind spots, making it harder—not easier—to defend against threats. To truly secure Google Workspace, businesses need a unified security strategy that offers complete protection without unnecessary complexity. The problem with most security solutions is that they only solve part of the puzzle. Point solutions, like tools that block malware or phishing attacks, might work well for a specific type of threat but fail to recognize suspicious user behavior, unauthori...
