AI has been a hot topic in recent months and years, which only makes sense. Not only has it been used in more public applications, but it has also caused a bit of controversy as it seems to “compete” with people.

If you find your staff have difficulty with consistency and productivity, we aren’t here to tell you methods for increasing their productivity; rather, we want to introduce a concept that is often overlooked when trying to get the most out of your team, and is a trait often found in the most productive people, and that is patience.

This all ties back to the work of Alan Turing, who (amongst his accomplishments in computing) created what we know as the Turing Test as a means of gauging how intelligent a computer is.

The decision-makers of these companies simply didn’t find it necessary; and many of them had a point (until they didn’t). Today’s threat landscape is much, much more complex than it was only a few short years ago and therefore businesses need to make a point to set up the security tools that will help them secure their network and infrastructure from threats. Let’s take a look at some strategies that work to help modern businesses secure their digital resources: Tags: [Security](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/tags/security) [Technology](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/tags/technology) [Network Security](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/tags/network-security) [0 Comments](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/the-bare-necessities-of-business-security#comments) [ Continue reading](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/the-bare-necessities-of-business-security) [ ![Tim Campbell](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/images/easyblog_avatar/805_805_author_blog.png) ](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/blogger/tim-campbell) ## [Tip of the Week: Unfollow Someone on Facebook Instead of Unfriending Them](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/tip-of-the-week-unfollow-someone-on-facebook-instead-of-unfriending-them) Wednesday, 18 January 2023 [Tim Campbell](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/blogger/tim-campbell) [Apex Technology Blog ](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/categories/blog) [Tip of the Week](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/categories/tip-of-the-week) [ ![Tip of the Week: Unfollow Someone on Facebook Instead of Unfriending Them](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/images/easyblog_shared/January_2023/1-18-23/b2ap3_large_unfollowSM_68125030_400.jpg) ](https://trustapex.directivesites.com/blog/tip-of-the-week-unfollow-someone-on-facebook-instead-of-unfriending-them "Tip of the Week: Unfollow Someone on Facebook Instead of Unfriending Them") Social media can be remarkably overstimulating, and for some users this is a problem which is difficult to navigate without giving it up entirely. If you want a nice middle-ground to terminating your account entirely, you can instead curate your news feed by unfollowing accounts that don’t enrich your day. Let’s go over how you can do this.

If you routinely use strings like *Password*, *123456*, *Guest*, or *Qwerty* to secure an account, then you need to reexamine your password practices before they lead to a data breach. A good password can go a long way toward helping you in this effort.
