A CyberCert Parent is an organisation that has been formally recognised as meeting a higher tier of cyber maturity under the CyberCert framework.

AI - or artificial intelligence - has the potential to drive unparalleled business productivity, but its success relies on one key element - data.

In our series - Is your business ready for Copilot? - we cover why your data is foundational to AI-driven business applications, highlighting both its value and the significant risks it faces. Our aim is to equip you with knowledge to consider how this might affect your business.

Are you Copilot - ready? https://lnkd.in/gyuxFTNx

We've fielded a number of questions on Microsoft Copilot lately, namely - could my business benefit from the efficiencies offered by Microsoft's artificial intelligence package: Copilot?

The answer is likely 'yes' - but at what risk?

Rather than explain what Copilot is, or how to use Copilot (there are plenty of resources on this already), we have developed an advisory series to help you evaluate whether a Copilot upgrade could be right for you, and what conditions would need to be present in order to successfully implement it.

You're nearly done! It's also most here, just a few more tasks before the Christmas cheer 🎄

On the first day of Christmas, my IT gave to me,
A strong password that's hard to see!

On the second day of Christmas, my tech gave to me,
Two-factor codes and a VPN, securely!

On the third day of Christmas, my tech gave to me,
Three firewalls!

Four updated apps, five encrypted files, six phishing alerts...

AND the gift of cybersecurity!
