Here are five things in the business technology news that happened this week and how they affect your business. Did you miss them?
This week in business technology news
Business Business News #1 – Would you trust you to automatically change your browser’s passwords? Google thinks you will do it.
Google Chrome is testing a new power feature called Automated Password Change. When Chrome reveals that one of your stored passwords is compromised, it will make you change your password. Instead of doing it by hand, the chrome one can automatically update the password for you. The new password is stored in Google’s password manager and is coded for security. (Source: Windows Central)
Why this is important to your business:
I love that. I really do. From a personal point of view, we all know that our usernames and passwords are throughout the dark network and are compromised and most of us are very lazy to do nothing about it. From the point of view of the company we know that our employees are (or are not) doing the same. Many of us have software that drives our users to change their passwords every 60 or 90 days that helps. But Google, doing so, would add the security layer. The big question, however, is: do we trust Google? I think that ship has sailed…

Monday.com has been increasing in popularity and continues to invest in the means of making their platform even better. Hmm, maybe we have to sell this too?

Why this is important to your business:
A good list to share with your website developer if they are not already aware. But this also underlines the importance of continuing these things if you are managing your website. Many platforms are positioned with small businesses like doing the job instead of hiring a developer, which is good. But the values that developers bring is knowing- and implementing- tools like these. If you are doing this yourself, just be aware that you still have to invest time and be current in this technology.
