In today’s business world, cybersecurity is a booming industry. It’s also an important one, because a breech of data or loss of information can be disastrous experiences for any company. Unfortunately, sometimes strict cybersecurity policies can inhibit productivity. There are a couple of ways a company can keep their security a priority while still promoting productivity. One is prioritizing and focusing on top threats while placing less emphasis on smaller threats. Another is keeping policies simple and concise. Finally, open communication ensures that all employees know exactly what to do, and how to do their jobs while remaining secure.

Key Takeaways:

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing industries, and it’s easy to see why when you recognize the current value of information.
Keeping businesses secure is a top priority for CIOs
Striking a balance between security and productivity is a top priority for modern companies

“When it comes to maintaining productivity, you may be tempted to scale back your cybersecurity policies in order to afford employees more breathing room. Fight this temptation.”

It is possible for people to be connected in a split second. This can be good, but bad for employers. It can make it impossible to concentrate on a single task. What you need to do is getting employees the information they need, and making sure they can connect it to their current work.

Key Takeaways:

Good office communication flow boils down to the four Ps: placement, packaging, portions and point-in-time. In other words, you’ve got to pass the message at the right time, in the right place and in nicely packaged, digestible bites.
Not so hard when your company is small, but as your employee roster starts to expand, you will really need to streamline your office communication channels to make sure every department in the company is receiving the correct information at the exact same time.
Everyone will not always be as up-to-date with all that’s happening as they were when you were just a small team of 15.

“The world has never been so connected – Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa are all quite literally at your fingertips.”

It looks as though negotiating a bespoke deal after Brexit, will not be an easy thing for the city of London. A woman named Theresa May gave a speech on January the 17th and it set Britain on a path to a hard Brexit, and that means it will leave the EU and the single market too. The news was not what the people in the city were hoping to hear.

Italian car maker Maserati has introduced a new all-wheel drive mid-size SUV. The Levante, while still staying true to the Maserati body design style that sets it apart, manages to also offer an impressive package for both on and off road with all the luxury options someone would expect from Maserati.

Key Takeaways:

Over Christmas I caught an afternoon matinee, the classic 1960 romantic comedy It Started in Naples.
Clark Gable and Sophia Loren lead the way in this innocently charming movie, filmed entirely on location in Rome, Naples and Capri capturing the colors, textures and romance of Italy.
Inside takes the traditional luxury narrative route with leather upholstery as standard, comfy bucket seats that can be personalized in two-tone colors and the adjustable suspension set up will keep the cabin quiet.

“Much of the design is centered on expressing performance and keeping a visual link with the car’s siblings.”

There are a small number of extremely rich people that own more than half the wealth in the world. There are criticisms of this claim and some people believe it is not true. According to a charity called Oxfam, the riches people own as much as four hundred and twenty six billion dollars. However, Oxfam is said to have committed a rounding error and the number is not that high.

Are eight men as wealthy as half the world’s population?

A few years ago the country of Cyprus found itself in deep financial trouble. The small country took out millions of Euros in loans to keep the nation afloat. Thankfully, it seems that Cyprus might be on its way back to economic stability. The Bank of Cyprus has paid back a large sum of emergency assistance funds, and now has a place on the stock exchange. These are good signs that the economy is slowly, but surely, growing.

Sometimes, even the most hyped drugs fail. This was the case for Pfizer’s drug torcetrapib, which was meant to help with cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, in the final phase of drug trials, it was discovered this medicine that the company had poured billions of dollars in to in fact did not work. The results were difficult for the scientists and researchers who had spent years investing time into this drug, and were so hopeful for it success. It took time, but they have learned from the failure, and are now moving on to work on new medications.
