We must rise to the challenge, become more aggressive, and fight back. One day, this cyber war will end, but not today. Over the past decade, Florida, our nation, and the world have been bombarded with cyberattacks. This week, Allison Nixon from cybersecurity company Unit 221B said on 60 Minutes: “It’s almost like we’re winning every battle and losing…
Florida is loaded with ghosts, so let’s take a tour of some of them. Who you gonna call?

In the ’80s I tore home each afternoon after school to catch Dial MTV. It was a top 10 countdown show of the hottest music videos in the land and my favorite was the “Home Sweet Home” video by Motley Crue. It ruled that chart in 1986 and in the video the band can be…

About 30 years ago, we were called Aegis Computer Services, then Aegis Business Technologies and to simplify things our latest will be Aegis…
This type of cybercrime is as bad as it gets. It’s ruthless. In 2023, we saw federal, state, and local governments (as well as the private sector) increase spending on cyber security protections.
