Automation Isn’t A Strategy
Financial tools promise clarity, but many leaders still don’t trust the numbers they’re seeing.
The real villain isn’t AI.
It’s relying on automation without judgment, context, or accountability.
The Future of Financial Leadership: Why AI Isn’t Enough is a free guide that explores why growing companies need more than dashboards. They need experienced guidance alongside their tools.
BELAY Financial Solutions provide that partnership: AI-fluent, U.S.-based Financial Experts who bring strategy, clarity, and confidence to every decision.
Office Printers Still Use Default Credentials
Many enterprise printers run on outdated firmware with unchanged admin passwords. These devices sit on internal networks — accessible and exploitable by attackers.
IP Cameras Are a Surveillance Risk Both Ways
Poorly secured security cams can be accessed remotely, letting attackers watch offices, map layouts, and monitor employee behavior. Visual data is valuable intel.
Smart TVs and Conference Devices Leak Data
Boardrooms often have internet-connected displays, casting devices, or speakerphones. These tools retain files, join Wi-Fi, and rarely get updates — perfect for lateral movement.
Go from AI overwhelmed to AI savvy professional
AI will eliminate 300 million jobs in the next 5 years.

Unmanaged IoT Lives Outside Your SIEM
Most IoT devices don’t generate logs or support agents. They’re invisible to monitoring and run 24/7. Once compromised, they become silent beacons or internal pivots.
Shadow IT Includes Smart Devices Too
Employees plug in smart speakers, air quality sensors, or even coffee machines. These create new attack surfaces that security teams didn’t approve or scan.
Segmentation and Blocking Are Your Best Bet
Put all IoT on isolated VLANs with no access to core systems. Block outbound traffic where possible. If a device can’t be secured — contain it.
