Reflections on My Work Experience with Attomus

“I worked with Attomus remotely over a period of three weeks and completed two main tasks for the company both relating to the new app Semafore. Semafore is a highly secure communications service, targeted for the use of enterprises and government agencies who need more security than your average company.

One task, which I completed by myself, was to update the Semafore website to make it look sleeker and more dynamic by changing the images on the front page of the website. The other task, which I worked to complete with my friend, was to interview professionals from around the world about Semafore. We then used the feedback we received to write up several Use Cases on how different professions could benefit from using Semafore. To help with this, I got my first company email as well as access to the Attomus Jira management page where I saw the concept of a to-do list in a working environment. I was given tasks and communicated with a Senior Member of Staff who helped me complete my assignments for the company. This was all very new and exciting to me as this was my first experience in the corporate world, and even something as simple as getting a new email felt like a big deal to me.

Are You the Weak Link in a Supply Chain Attack?

Are you the weak link that could lead to a massive cybersecurity breach that could lead to millions of dollars in fines for a company?

Doesn’t seem to be a real possibility, right?

But the truth is, each of us has the potential to be a gateway to major breaches for our employers, our customers, clients, and suppliers. 

Or you may not be the direct link - it could be something you trusted to be safe, only it wasn’t.
