Oxen Networked for October 2025

2 O C TO B E R 2 0 2 5 This issue can be summed up in one word: security. We cover cybersecurity, security breaches, security awareness training, email security, cloud security, smart identity security, and more. Security has become the heart of what we do at OXEN Technology. We begin on page 3, where President Heather Lantz explains Why Separating Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Teams Matters. It's OXEN Technology's current strategy to enhance overall performance and security posture. Are You Protected from Employee-Focused Attacks? You can explore this question on pages 4 and 5, which discusses security threats including phishing, smishing, vishing, business email compromise, and social engineering. This is followed on page 6 with a look at why Business Protection Security Makes Sense in the Cloud Era and how Microsoft 365 secures modern organizations. You won’t want to miss this article, written by OXEN Technology’s Ryan Pieken, vCIO/vCISO Services. On page 7, we urge you to Strengthen Data Security with Audit Logs and Technical Controls. These proactive measures create an environment where potential incidents are quickly detected and contained. Security threats can easily keep you up at night — unless you partner with OXEN Technology to implement the solutions required to protect your organization. Please contact us to discuss how best to enhance your security.
