No matter where you are geographically, the World Cup is an event that carries fans even when their team doesn\u2019t make it all the way! Is your business prepared for your employees\u2019 inevitable streaming and Web surfing? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even four years ago, many may have watched the World Cup on cable or satellite TV versus streaming. In 2018 though, many, known as cord-cutters, have even chosen to remove cable services at home and just stream on their televisions&#8211;making streaming a new way of life! Since the games are based in Russia this year, the time difference will likely cause games to be during working hours not only in the US, but even in Europe. Which means, devoted fans, I mean employees, may end up streaming at work potentially slowing down or clogging your bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also the neverending threat of phishing e-mails and malicious ads. They tend to increase exponentially around events like this. Now is the time to make sure you have tools in place to block intentional or accidental access to malicious URL links, and have some refresher training for your employees on what to look for, avoid, and report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World Cup doesn\u2019t happen often.
