Have you ever said, 'Oh I don't have anything to worry about, I've got nothing hackers would want!?!  You would be surprised! 

We're moving so much of our lives online these days, online security is now critical!

​I have spoken with two small to medium enterprise clients in the last week, who have had their email and social media accounts compromised!  Another colleague I spoke to, has had four or five of their clients with compromised accounts - in a community of 5000!  

We are all potential targets! 

Anyone who's known me for a while, knows me as a prolific snapper (read photographer) which was brought about from a love of photography instilled into me as a teenager when I was given an old camera by my grandparents as our family moved out to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the early 80s.
​
​The landscape of picture postcard perfect islands and a family of five venturing onto this tropical paradise gave me plenty to capture. I think I still have the foggy, not quite focussed first few snaps somewhere in our family archives. Shortly after we arrived and I had been snapping away, one of my teachers offered to sell me her old camera. Well that set me off snapping Island life and my friends and family even more intently!

​The internet is an amazing tool, and, twenty years in, I for one, can barely recall what life was like without it.

July is here! It’s one of my favourite times of the year in the Kimberley. There's a crispness in the air in the mornings and the landscape has browned off, the days are just magnificent and the urge to throw the swag in the back of the fourbie and find somewhere to light a campfire and enjoy the million-star view is great!

In amongst all of that, our Kimberley towns swell in population with all of our visitors! It's hard to want to get stuck in the office when it seems everyone is on holidays except for you!

​I have been very fortunate in my first year of business. I have managed to work with so many great people, so many wonderful organisations and fabulous projects delivering a variety of opportunities to people in regional WA.

I was challenged the other day when asked what I'm doing now the CRC has closed, and then again whilst I was at a workshop with a very experienced and highly respected digital marketing expert who came to present some excellent workshops to our tourism sector.
She identified me as a new consultancy service in town. I shrunk back from that a little as it sounds very authoritative and expert-like.  Something I have never purported to be.
​Not me.  I'm not an expert.  I just know how to Google. 

Cast your minds back to 2006. Eleven years ago. You hadn't heard of Facebook, MySpace was something that you may have heard of but weren't quite sure exactly what it was. You had had a mobile phone for around the ten year mark, maybe longer if you were an early adopter.
If you were anything like me you had finally upgraded your mobile to the fabulous flip phone... I was a Nokia girl all the was your back then. The internet in your palm and easy access to data was still just a pipedream for the majority of the general population.
