Stay Safe – Run Updates Now! Cybercriminals are constantly looking for vulnerabilities in software. Once found these ‘cracks’ in the security of a software product such as Windows are exploited. This causes untold damage and financial loss to companies and individuals.
Microsoft continually monitors for cyber threats. Every second Tuesday of the month (US time), Microsoft releases software updates that repair these vulnerabilities. We recommend that you run Microsoft updates to avoid great damage to your security system.
That’s why it is critical that Microsoft and other security updates are installed promptly.
Right now there is a vulnerability that is already being exploited by a gang known as the 8220 Gang. This will affect users of some software packages that run on Windows 10 and 11 platforms.
Whether this affects you or not it’s a timely reminder to make sure that you don’t try to put off running those software updates.
We make every effort to ensure that our managed services clients are kept up to date. If you are not being proactively looked after by your IT provider make sure that you manually check that your software patching is up to date.
Keep your personal and business data safe and secure.

Using Outlook on other devices is very easy and will help you have convenient access to your email inbox.
Microsoft Outlook has lots of features that help you organise your work and personal life with the barrage of emails that flood in daily.
Most are familiar with using the Outlook desktop app, but away from your usual PC or Mac, you can still have access to Outlook.
Open any internet browser and browse office.com. Here you can log in with your email address and password.
Access to other Microsoft 365 Apps
You’ll have access in the left-hand menu, to all of the Microsoft 365 apps that you have a license for, including Outlook. As Microsoft is pushing users to the cloud, you will find that you have many if not most of the features that you are used to with the desktop app.
When receiving email on your iPhone or Android phone, it’s best not to use the built-in email app but to download Microsoft Outlook. Your organisation should have set up security in Microsoft 365 so that your company emails and data on the phone can be controlled and remotely wiped if the phone is lost or stolen. All of your email accounts can be set up in Outlook so that you can easily see all emails.
A very recent addition by Microsoft is the ability to listen to your emails being read to you. This is great if you want to go hands-free and listen to and delete, archive, reply just with voice commands.
Here’s a short video on the new feature (it mentions Apple iOS but is now added to Android as well).
Now, you’ll be able to see that using Outlook on other devices will help you access your emails anywhere you go.

If you are not using Outlook 365 or a similar modern email system, you may be using obsolete technology to receive and store emails. This is not a good idea as it makes you vulnerable to attack. Your mailbox is probably only on your computer hard drive, and you could easily lose the lot. Also, you won’t have all of the other functions that a business can take advantage of.
An overview of features in Outlook 365 includes:
Calendar, contact, and task lists.
A large 50GB primary mailbox.
Add an archive and you have an extra 100GB of storage space
Email recovery: Emails deleted from the deleted folder can still be recovered for a short period of time or you can turn on…
Litigation Hold. With this function, ALL emails are kept in a separate repository. That includes all deleted emails. Litigation hold enables businesses to have all of the emails needed for a court case, even when an employee has tried to cover their tracks.
Option to monitor other mailboxes (e.g., a PA can monitor the boss’s mailbox and action emails with the ‘send on behalf’ or ‘send as’ function).
Shared mailboxes. These do not need to have a license. Mailboxes such as admin, info, enquiries, for example, could be set up and allocated to the appropriate staff members.
As long as the staff members each have a paid license they can also send and receive using the shared mailbox.
Room or equipment mailboxes can also be set up without consuming a license.
With these features and other security functions, you can work more safely and efficiently.
Outlook also integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps such as ToDo and Planner, etc. to contribute to the Modern Workplace, work from anywhere, environment.
In our next blog posts, we’ll look at using Outlook on different platforms.

Microsoft’s Big Announcement was anticipated by the tech community.
With the launch of Windows 10 back in 2015, Microsoft stated that there would be no further Windows, just updates to Windows 10.
Well, technology moves on, and now that changes.
Recently, Microsoft announced their newest operating system which is now certain to be called Windows 11.
There has been an early build leaked to the internet so much is already known about the product. It’s got a new start menu, new sounds, icons, an updated look, and feel.
It’s rumored that this upgrade could be free for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.
Take a look at the above picture courtesy of Microsoft. That’s Microsoft’s Big Announcement. They’ve bent the laws of physics to portray the number of the Windows build-in the rays of light coming through the window.
In our next blog posts, we’ll start a series on Outlook 365. Email is such a big component in most businesses’ technology.
There is much worth knowing about the functions and features that are available when your email is hosted on Microsoft 365.
