Welcome!
Welcome back to another edition of PSCI's client newsletter, the IT
Industry Rundown!
Did you know that October is National Cybersecurity Awareness
Month? While cybersecurity has been a major concern of businesses
for years, new challenges arise every day. That's why, in this
edition of our newsletter, we've highlighted articles pertaining to
cybersecurity.
Learn why email-based attacks continue to be a major threat and how
through the use of AI those threats can be mitigated, how to
increase the size of your cybersecurity candidate pools by focusing
on diversity, why cybersecurity practices should always be kept in
a state of flux, and discover new solutions to common security
concerns.
We also provide the latest from our blog on other topics related
to, and affecting, the IT industry.
We hope you find these articles informative and helpful as you ramp
up your efforts to keep your data secure from outside threats. And,
as always, please remember to connect with us on
LinkedIn,
Facebook, and
Twitter for even
more IT industry information.

"PSCI contractors are happy
and that shows in how they approach their jobs. You can tell they

peace of mind, because a happy consultant stays and performs. When
