In his words:
“it is a security measure that WWCS utilises alongside a security stack. It is responsible for restricting and controlling access to a company’s resources based on the geographical location of its users. This is done by using the IP address of a device to determine its user’s current location. It plays an integral part in mitigating cyber threats by blocking access to regions which are known for high levels of cybercrime. We also tailor Geo-blocks based on company needs to ensure that only countries which are used for business are allowed to access company resources. This reduces the risk of attacks such as phishing and denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and is an important pre-emptive measure that helps in securing the network from potential threats.”
Furthermore, Geo-blocking plays an important role in protecting organisational data by only allowing access to specific regions based on company needs. This reduces the risk of breach and data loss even further as it will only allow access to company data if the user is in a green listed country.

Email security is key to protecting your organisation. One of the most effective ways to safeguard you from email fraud is by implementing DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance). Here’s what you need to know about DMARC and why it’s crucial.
What is DMARC?
DMARC is an email validation protocol designed to detect and prevent email spoofing. It builds upon two other authentication protocols, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), providing a way for domain owners to define how their legitimate emails should be handled and offering feedback on suspicious activity.
Key Benefits of DMARC:
Contact your Account Manager today to implement DMARC for your organisation.
PHISHING ATTACK – cyber security
The most common #CYBERSECURITY risk that SMR’s face is a phishing attack .
Attackers will send a fraudulent email or texts messages that appear to be legit and ask the recipient to do something. (usually click a link, or send some information in return).
Here are examples of legit-looking emails I received from my CEO & CTO. Luckily I knew my boss wouldn’t ask me to confirm my whatsapp number, but the payroll one could have duped me!
We are all busy, so it’s easy to be tricked by emails that appear to come from trusted sources.
If you receive any emails which feel weird, *always check the email address*. The hackers make the email come from the person’s name, but if you check the details it exposes them.
Here are a few things your business can do to reduce the risk: – Implementing an employee training program to educate staff on how to recognise and respond to phishing attacks – Deploy anti-phishing tools and software – Use multi-factor authentication to protect sensitive data and systems

The business, a Word Processing Bureau (called Word Workshop), started from a small shop in Edgware, NW London.
The business took hand-written client letters and simply typed them up and printed them out to make them look more “professional!”.
Neil Lester was a pioneer in technology and had one of the first desktop computers in the UK.
Our first client requiring IT Support walked through the door in 1990…”I cant open Word Perfect, can you please help”.
From there the business grew in to supplying and supporting desktop computers. This was at the same time the likes of Amstrad, Tulip and
Compaq launched their PC range. Computers were sold with MS Dos 6.22!
Research conducted found that 1.8 million children across the UK did not have an adequate device on which to access home learning during the second lockdown. It highlighted that during the last lockdown, children who did not have access to remote learning devices, fell behind in their studies by 6 months, compared to those who had a device and were able to keep up with home learning.
Spearheaded by Saracens and English rugby star Maro Itoje, the Digital Divide campaign aims to provide every student with equal access to education during the pandemic. The Saracens Foundation, through its partnership with Bloomberg, and Technology Partner WWCS, has made an immediate impact on young people across London and the surrounding areas who have struggled to access classes during the pandemic.
With an average of 50 laptops being donated and delivered every day, WWCS has transformed it’s office space into a production line of device testing, wiping, and cleaning, ready to be delivered to young people across London. As an Organisation keen on supporting the local community, WWCS feels it is especially important to help to “level the playing field” and make sure that all children and young people have access to equipment for home learning. With schools returning on 8th, we hope to keep support the project for as long as donations continue to come in, to aid in catch-up work after school and during school holidays to help those children who have fallen behind. At a time when the IT industry has thrived, due to the huge increase in remote working, it is only right that we should be giving back in some way and this seemed like the ideal opportunity to get involved.
WWCS are planning a series of events to raise money for this remarkable children’s charity. These will include a Team Skydive and 24 hour online game-a-thon.
Thank you to Lucy Jackson and her team for the chat last week and to Martin Rees… who doesn’t love a dose of magic!
