As such, ridding your business of any of it has become a more involved process than it once was… all in the name of data security. The simple fact is that more devices than ever have memory, which can easily cause serious problems if you are not careful.

Whether it is a niece who builds gaming rigs or a friend who is good with computers, leaning on a hobbyist for business infrastructure seems like a great way to save a few bucks. In reality, it is one of the most expensive mistakes a business owner can make. Here is why mixing family favors with professional IT is a recipe for disaster.

A recent clash between the Open Knowledge Association (OKA) and veteran Wikipedia editors has highlighted a big issue: AI hallucinations. What started as an ambitious project to translate and expand the world’s most famous encyclopedia has turned into a cautionary tale about the erosion of AI trust.

While you’re busy teaching them the ropes of their new role, there is something else just as vital to cover: keeping your company data safe. Building a security-first culture doesn’t have to be intimidating. Here is how to navigate the first 30 days to ensure your new team members start off on the right foot.

Maybe it’s your niece, who was the one to set up your Wi-Fi and spends her time on her self-constructed gaming PC. It kind of makes sense to lean on her for some tech advice for the office, too… doesn’t it? The short answer: absolutely not. While your niece may have a bright future ahead of her in the IT industry, there are numerous reasons why relying on her in lieu of a professional is a terrible, self-destructive idea.
