‍ In July 2023, Storm-0324, a ransomware group, exploited Microsoft Teams to distribute phishing lures. Using an open-source tool, they impersonated IT support personnel in Teams chats, deceiving employees into downloading malicious payloads. So, is Microsoft Teams secure in 2024?

In hospitals, every shift, every decision and every message can mean the difference between life and loss. Patient-facing employees face this reality every day. But then unexpected events throw everything into overdrive. When things go wrong, communication becomes the foundation of the entire response. Even with established protocols, if you don’t have a solid system in place, that foundation can crumble fast.

With more than 100 customers across 12 countries, we’ve made significant strides in delivering a platform that empowers organisations to enhance communication, streamline workflows, and engage employees effectively.

We are always occupied with multiple tasks, and we need to set productivity goals to ensure that no task is left behind or that we do not get stuck on various tasks and, at last, complete none of them. The handy applications that we can use to manage our work are Evernote and Notion. Both are different platforms, serving similar goals where few features overlap with each other.

When communication tools scatter information instead of organizing it, productivity takes a hit, and stress levels climb. Group messaging apps should make teamwork easier, and not feel like a digital scavenger hunt.

By now you’d assume most government organisations are aware of the risks associated with consumer messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram being used in the workplace. Consumer apps, convenient for personal use, are completely unsuited for official communications. They lack the necessary security, auditability and management controls that public sector organisations require.
