Craig Ford, our Cofounder and Executive Director, contributed to The Sentinel Newspaper's monthly Tech Time section.

This is part of Cyber Unicorns mission to drive cyber education and awareness across the community, both here locally for Craig in the Moreton Bay region in south east Qld, right across Australia and the wider global community.

In this piece, Craig talks about "Pause before you Post" to get everyone to consider what they give away when they post something online, what is in a photo or video and why it's important to just take that pause moment.

Thank you, Moreton Bay Sentinel, for giving Craig Ford and Cyber Unicorns the opportunity to do this as part of the Tech Time section each month. Next month, we will talk about "Passwords".

🔁 Backups are your lifeline after a cyber incident, but only if they actually work.

Too many organizations discover their backups are broken when it’s time to restore. Don’t risk it.

Do this today:

Verify backups are running (and cover critical systems)
Perform a real restore test to a safe location
Check integrity + recovery time
Schedule regular test restores and document the process

Ransomware or outages without a working backup can be the end of a business. Test them now, let them save you later.
