Whether you’re in the middle of an important piece of work, or just checking Facebook, when that notification appears to let you know there’s a software update available, it’s so tempting to just click ‘Later’.
And then forget to run the update when you’ve finished what you’re doing.
Especially if you’re working in the office one day and at home the next. It’s even easier to promise yourself you’ll install the updates when you’re in less of a hurry.
But it’s so important.
At the moment, we’re all more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Cyber criminals are taking advantage of how things are.
And there’s more to be aware of. Doing your updates means your devices will be:

Could your business subsidise their move to a faster internet service?
Next, look at their routers. Is there a better one available for the kind of work your business does? Â Consider whether a range extender would solve any issues too.
It’s not always straightforward, but giving your people the right tools for the job is vital, right?
If you need any help or advice on upload and download speeds, providers, or any of this internet connectivity stuff, you know where we are.
