How secure are the everyday tools your business relies on?

The biggest cyber security risks don’t always come from sophisticated hackers.

More often, they begin with the everyday things businesses overlook – an old user account that was never removed, a missed software update, or login credentials that are still active when they shouldn’t be. Small gaps that can quickly become big problems.

In the August 2026 edition of Technology Insider, we explore why cyber criminals are increasingly targeting identities instead of systems, and how businesses can strengthen their everyday security before attackers find the weak spots.

This month, we explore:

• Why usernames and passwords have become a primary target for cyber criminals
• How small security gaps can lead to major breaches
• The growing risk of “Shadow AI” in the workplace
• Microsoft’s new feature that can automatically isolate infected devices
• How Google is reshaping Search with AI
• Practical tech facts, industry updates and our monthly quiz

Cyber security isn’t just about advanced technology. It’s about getting the basics right and staying one step ahead of evolving threats.
