Promoting Cybersecurity with Power Fingerprinting

Ransomware, cyber theft, cyber espionage attacks, security misconfiguration, and injection vulnerability attacks--the list of malicious software attacks happening in cyber space can go on. Once hackers access a company's system, they have the power to steal, manipulate, and leak the company's sensitive data. Studies show that successful cyberattacks cause millions of dollars’ worth of financial damage and a billion dollars’ worth of lost data. That said, it is essential for companies to engage in measures that will promote cybersecurity to avoid the costly perils of cyberattacks.

Welcome Home: The Grand Purpose Of The Foyer

Image source: sf.curbed.com
Nothing inside a luxury house says “Welcome Home” to both residents and guests better than the foyer. The first step through the front door transitions visitors from the outside to the interiors, a radically different view from the outside. A well-designed foyer, thus, is essential to creating a good first impression of the house.

There are many routes to go in designing the foyer; the space can be of a quaint and cozy design, or vibrant and eclectic. The foyer, though, ultimately shares the personality of the resident, setting the mood of the entire house. It should therefore be inviting and at the same time intriguing. The practicality of the design should also be considered because it is a high-traffic area, with numerous guests passing it frequently enough.
