AI tools can save time and improve productivity — but they can also create new risks if they’re downloaded from the wrong place.

Cyber criminals are now using fake versions of popular AI tools to spread ransomware, malware and other threats, often through convincing websites and sponsored ads.

For SMEs, that’s a real concern. Teams want to work smarter and explore new technology, but without the right checks in place, one download could lead to serious disruption, data loss or downtime.

In our latest blog, we look at why fake AI tools are becoming a growing cyber security threat, what the risks are for small businesses, and the practical steps organisations can take to stay protected.

Cyber threats don’t always come with obvious warning signs — sometimes they start with a login attempt from the other side of the world.
If your business only operates in the UK, why allow access attempts from locations you never deal with?

That’s where geo-fencing can help.

In our latest blog, we explain what geo-fencing is, why it matters for SMEs, and how it can help reduce risk by blocking suspicious login attempts before they become a bigger problem.

It’s a simple but effective way to strengthen your cyber security posture — especially for businesses looking to improve protection around Microsoft 365, firewalls and remote access.

Every business with an internet connection is exposed to cyber threats. That’s why a firewall is such an important part of a strong cyber security strategy. It acts as a first line of defence, helping to block suspicious traffic, protect against malware and ransomware, support compliance, and keep your systems running securely.

At Apex Computing, we work with SonicWall to help businesses put reliable, scalable firewall protection in place — with the right setup, monitoring and support behind it. We’ve shared a new blog explaining what a firewall does, why it matters, and why we choose SonicWall for our customers.

And if you’d like to learn more in person, there’s still time to join us at our SonicWall event on 11th June, where we’ll be talking about practical ways to strengthen your cyber security: www.apexcomputing.co.uk/events/7-deadly-sins-of-cyber-security
