Black Friday through to Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for online shopping. Tech bargains, festive gifts, and special offers are everywhere – but while customers hunt for deals, cybercriminals are also very active. At CJAZ Consulting, we work with businesses of all sizes to protect them from cyber threats. The same principles that keep organisations secure also apply to personal online shopping. Here are five essential tips to shop smart while enjoying the fes

Why not surprise your colleagues at your next team meeting with a festive background in MS Teams?

Cybersecurity is changing. Traditional tools like firewalls and antivirus are important—but they’re no longer enough on their own. Today’s attackers are smarter, faster, and more persistent. Waiting to react after an attack has happened is risky and costly. That’s why businesses are turning to proactive protection with Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

Cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting your systems anymore—it’s about proving you’re protected. Insurers, regulators, and even your clients are asking tougher questions: Are you Cyber Essentials certified? Do you meet ISO 27001 standards? How do you handle GDPR obligations? The reality is that basic antivirus isn’t enough. Compliance frameworks and cyber insurance providers now expect much more. That’s where ESET Managed Detection and Response (MDR) makes all the differ

Most businesses don’t realise they’ve been attacked until it’s far too late. On average, it can take weeks—or even months—for a company to spot a breach. By then, the damage is already done: data stolen, reputations damaged, and operations disrupted. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With Managed Detection and Response (MDR) from ESET, threats are contained in as little as 20 minutes. That means attacks are identified and stopped before they can turn into a crisis.

From high-profile attacks on major retailers like M&S and Harrods, to the devastating closure of haulage firm KNP Logistics after a ransomware attack, the message was clear: no business is too small to be targeted. 

You may already have heard, Windows 10 is heading for retirement. Microsoft will officially stop supporting Windows 10 operating system on 14 October 2025—and while that may sound a way off, the reality is: if you’re still running Windows 10, now is the time to act.

In the professional services world, trust is everything. Whether you're a law firm, financial adviser, recruitment agency or consultancy, clients are putting sensitive, often highly confidential data in your hands. And with that trust comes responsibility — not just to deliver your service, but to keep your systems and their data safe. For many SMEs, especially across London and the South East, the idea of a cyberattack or data breach is a growing concern — and for good rea

If you're an Office Manager or Business Owner worried that your IT might be at risk, you're not alone. The good news? There is a clear, manageable way to protect your business – and it's called Cyber Essentials.

In a worrying development, several major UK retailers – including Marks & Spencer, Harrods and Co-op – have been targeted by cyber criminals in recent weeks. One alarming tactic used by attackers is impersonating IT helpdesk staff to trick employees into handing over login credentials or approving password resets.

Cyber attacks targeting UK household names like M&S, Harrods, and Co-op have once again exposed the growing cybersecurity crisis facing British businesses. While the headlines focus on big brands, the reality is that organisations of all sizes are being targeted – and many are far from prepared.
