Cybersecurity isn’t just a businesses IT problem anymore. With hacking, scams and data breaches becoming part of the digital world, protecting your accounts and information matters more than ever.

Strong passwords, multi-factor authentication and keeping your software updated are simple steps that can make a big difference. A little prevention now can save a much bigger headache later.

Our 10 Years of Lightning IP trip through the decades has reached the 90's and a piece of tech we're VERY familiar with, Wi-Fi!

In the 1990s, scientists at Australia's CSIRO developed key wireless networking technology that would go on to play an important role in modern Wi-Fi. By the end of the decade, Wi-Fi products were hitting the market and suddenly connecting to the internet didn't always mean being attached to a cable.

Fast forward to today and we're connecting phones, laptops, TVs, watches and even fridges wirelessly. Turns out some brilliant Aussie engineering helped make the tangled cord drawer slightly less necessary.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which makes it a pretty good time for a quick digital check up.

The simple things can make a bigger difference than you might think. Update your passwords, switch on multifactor authentication, install those software updates you've been putting off and take an extra second before clicking unfamiliar links.

They're small habits that can help protect your information, your money and a whole lot of time you don't want to spend dealing with a compromised account.

Did Gavin see you at the Henty field days? There were a lot of good people there!

Gavin had a great few days out at Henty from 22nd–24th of September alongside the NBN team, talking all things connectivity and catching up with plenty of familiar faces and meeting some new ones!

Check out what he got up to. Also, we don’t recommend you let him drive a tractor without a bit more practice first.

Internet and phones aren't exactly the most exciting line items on the business budget, until they stop working.

For most businesses, they're behind almost everything you do from taking payments, answering customers, video calls, accessing cloud systems, sending files and keeping your team. When outdated systems start slowing things down, those little delays can quietly turn into lost time, frustrated staff and missed opportunities.

When it’s time to make a change start with a conversation, tell us what’s working and what’s frustrating you then we can get your business back on track.

You've probably heard plenty about Fibre to the Premise but what does it actually mean for you?

In simple terms, FTTP replaces older copper connections with fibre optic cable running directly to your premises. That gives you access to faster speeds and a more reliable connection built for the way we use the internet today.

Most houses can now be connected so it’s definitely worth looking into it to get faster and stronger connections without needing to change your plan!

As we celebrates 10 years of Lightning IP we're throwing it back to when Australia's faster networks started taking shape. Fibre optic cables began connecting Australian cities in the late '80s, dramatically increasing how much data could be carried across the network.

It was an early step towards the broadband, NBN and FTTP connections and is the basis of the infrastructure we rely on today. Turns out fibre was onto something.
