What the Heck is “Integrated Cloud E-Security”? Email is obviously not a new technology, and several companies over the last decade have been trying to replace it via direct messaging either through project management software (e.g., Slack) or dedicated apps (e.g., WhatsApp). Perhaps it’s all the email spamming and abuse or perhaps it’s the associations with oppressive corporate culture that has led so many companies to try and ‘disrupt’ email. Believe it [...]
RMail’s RSecurity E-Security Suite Stops Whaling, BEC Attacks Before They Happen Seeing as it’s Friday, I thought I’d ask which of the following “facts” are actually common misconceptions: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was composed by Mozart. Vikings wore horns on their helmets. Canada is north of the United States. A toilet's flush will change direction depending upon which hemisphere it is in. [...]
“Hot Plasma” is the Latest in E-Security Before I begin telling you about the most sophisticated new cyberthreat your organization will face in 2022 -- which by the way has a very dull name -- I thought I’d at least try and open with something that is more uplifting: Hot Plasma to Re-Invent E-Security (Environmental Security, that is). This good news is that we’ve had a breakthrough in Hot Plasma which could soon (in the next decade) power a world of electric [...]
Looking Back at Our Most Popular Articles of 2021 With 2021 now fully behind us, I thought I’d take you through some of the most popular and shared content Tech Essentials produced. It was obviously a busy year for us and the world at large. The year began with a surge in COVID cases and ended with…a surge in COVID cases. Return to office (RTO) plans were thrown back into disarray, thus necessitating the continued need for WFH products like RMail [...]
Our Favorite Tech Trickery from 2021 On this last business day of 2021, you’ve by now probably had your fill of ‘best of’ lists, but please consider our own list of ‘favorite’ tech scams we’ve encountered in the past year. The sad truth is that human beings have tried to trick one another into doing things against their best interests from the dawn of time. This trickery in itself is obviously nothing new, but technology has enabled the tactics and methods to evolve greatly [...]

We Predicted the Death of Ransomware in 2017. Oh, Time Machines. We first wrote about Ransomware attacks in Tech Essentials in 2017 – back when a Bitcoin was valued at $1800 (oh, the good old days). The crux of the article was that many victims were paying their ransom to the cyber perpetrators, but they did not have an easy way to track and reconcile who paid, and m [...]
Independence from Big Brother, Big Tech and Big Putin This time of year, Americans are obviously thinking about independence. And this year, independence will take on even greater importance because the lockdowns are over, and we are free again to travel to see our friends and family for the holiday. Every holiday season we all take some time to reflect on the true meaning of the holidays. For July 4th I think we should all pause and think about the true me [...]
No Mitsakes Were Made in This Week’s Artical “To Err Is To Be Human”—a great quotation coined, I believe, by Rodney Dangerfield, or maybe Alexander Pope. My mistake. To be human is great—you get to enjoy earthly pleasures like food and music in ways that machines will never be able to do (at least for now). Humans get to love and run through fields of sunflowers in slow motion with their soulmates—not something an Alexa can do (at least for now). Can your iPhone experience [...]
