As technology evolves, hackers, malware, and other cybersecurity threats become more advanced. Businesses have to be careful if they want to continue to keep their data and information safe. From trade secrets to user profiles, the information you store is a necessary part of running a safe and efficient business. There are several key ways to keep your business’s data secure. Some of these tips are simple, while others require a little more planning. That said, each of these practices is a necessary part of creating a stronger, safer, and more productive company.
Use Strong Passwords and Multifactor Authentication
These days, creating a password can feel like second nature. Many people even use the same password—perhaps with a couple of different variations—for everything they do. While this technique is definitely easier to remember, it’s not nearly secure as having a unique and secure sign-in for every single user. That’s why businesses should implement strong password requirements such as making passwords longer than eight characters and requiring special characters. You can also strengthen access security through multifactor authentication. These practices will ensure that only authorized users can access resources, profiles, and data.
Provide Continuous Security Training
When it comes to data security, your employees are your strongest asset. That’s why businesses must provide security training. The world of cybersecurity changes every day, but continuous training can help keep your employees in the know about new phishing scams, virus technology, and other threats to look out for. Other training subjects can include how to manage secure user profiles, the importance of routine backups, and how to safely dispose of data. When it comes to how to improve data security for your business, employee awareness can go a long way.
Adopt the Best Security Tools
You don’t have to build your company’s security defenses by yourself. By adopting top-tier security tools—and partnering with companies who can make the most of every resource—you equip your business for safety and success. That’s why many companies turn to Microsoft Azure and its security resources to bolster their defenses. With access management tools, storage security, and other defenses, Azure Security helps you keep your business safe from even the most sophisticated cyber threats.
A top UN official said that in Ukraine, “intensifying Russian attacks on the country’s energy facilities, amidst heavy snow and freezing temperatures, are worsening the dire humanitarian conditions across the country.”
Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and Americas today (06 Dec) briefed the Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.
According to him, “Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine – in violation of the UN Charter and international law - the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has verified 10,065 civilians killed and 18,679 injured.”
He added, “the actual figures are likely considerably higher.”
Jenča said, “as long as the war continues, all four Ukraine’s nuclear power plants remain at risk.”
He continued, “On Saturday, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, located dangerously close to the front line - suffered a complete off-site power outage. This was the eighth time since the start of the invasion.”
Jenča added, “Last Wednesday, the IAEA team at the Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine reported hearing several explosions close to the plant. The plant was not directly affected. Yet, the incident reminded of the risks faced by Ukrainian nuclear sites – even those away from active combat.”

United Nations Video: Venezuelan Refugees, Gaza, Ukraine & other topics - Daily Briefing (6 Dec 2023) | United Nations
Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- SG/Gaza
- Gaza
- Senior Personnel Appointments
- High-level Pledging Event for the Central Emergency Response Fund
- Venezuela/Guyana
- Venezuelan Refugees
- Security Council
- Ukraine
- UN Peacekeeping Ministerial Meeting
- COP28

- AI Advisory Body
VENEZUELA/GUYANA
In response to questions on the situation between Venezuala and Guyana. The Spokesman said the Secretary-General strongly supports the use of solely peaceful means to settle international disputes. He further recalls that, pursuant to the Charter and to the Statute of the International Court of Justice, decisions of the Court are binding and he trusts that both States will duly comply with the Order from the Court.
The Secretary-General recalls the Order of the International Court of Justice, issued on 1 December 2023, indicating provisional measures in the case of Guyana against Venezuela concerning Arbitral Award of 3 October 1899.
The Secretary-General notes the Court’s unanimous decision to order Venezuela to “refrain from taking any action that would modify the situation that currently prevails in the territory in dispute”.
The Secretary-General also notes the Court’s order to both Parties to refrain from any action, which might aggravate or extend the dispute or make it more difficult to resolve.
In accordance with the Statute of the Court, the Secretary-General transmitted the notice of the provisional measures ordered by the Court to the Security Council.
VENEZUELAN REFUGEES
Also related to Venezuela, this morning, the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency launched a $1.59 billion regional plan to support the needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela as well as their host communities across 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean countries. The number of refugees and migrants from Venezuela worldwide has now topped 7.7 million people, with the vast majority hosted by countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The 2024 response plan aims to respond to 3 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela and host communities with emergency needs, while supporting socio-economic integration that will allow them to resume their lives.
GAZA
The World Food Programme (WFP), in a statement issued earlier today, said that the renewed fighting in Gaza makes the distribution of aid almost impossible and endangers the lives of humanitarian workers. Only a lasting peace can end the suffering and avert a looming humanitarian crisis, they say.
The ability of the United Nations to receive incoming loads of aid has been significantly impaired over the past three days by several factors. This includes a shortage of trucks within Gaza; the telecommunications blackout on 4 December; and the increasing number of staff who were unable to report to the Rafah crossing due to the ongoing hostilities.
Yesterday, for the third consecutive day, Rafah was the only governorate in Gaza where limited aid distributions took place. In the adjacent Khan Younis governorate, aid distribution has largely stopped due to the intensity of the fighting.
UKRAINE
OCHA tells us there was an attack yesterday in the city of Kherson, in the south of the country, which destroyed a local NGO’s humanitarian warehouse.
The humanitarian centre had been providing vital assistance to tens of thousands of residents of Kherson city and the region - whose needs have increased in the winter weather and the warehouse was completely burnt down.

US President Joe Biden has said part of his motivation to run for a second term next year is to prevent the return of Donald Trump.
"We cannot let him win," Mr Biden told reporters.
At a Fox News event, Mr Trump said that he thought Mr Biden was too old for such a political rematch.
Mr Trump is the runaway front-runner in the Republican race even as he faces four criminal cases. Mr Biden, as the incumbent president, is the presumptive Democratic nominee.
But neither candidate is yet the official nominee of their respective party.

BBC News Video: How first people to escape North Korea in 2023 journeyed to South - BBC News
Earlier this year, a man pulled off a seemingly impossible escape from North Korea. He fled by sea with his entire family - his pregnant wife, his mother, his brother's family, and an urn containing his father's ashes.
They are the first people to have fled the country this year and make it to the South.
Mr Kim told the BBC how he masterminded his escape, in the first interview with a defector to have got out since the pandemic.
The BBC cannot independently verify all of Mr Kim's account, but much of the detail tallies with what we have been told by other sources.

The crisis comes just six months after the country emerged from a historic drought…
…which brought the nation to the brink of widespread famine.
The country continues to be battered by heavy rains and floods, leaving thousands cut off from vital supplies.

This is the bodycam footage of a sheriff’s deputy in North Carolina who was fired and faces assault charges, after allegedly using excessive force on a suspect.
Charleston County deputy James ‘Hank’ Carter III, 39, recorded himself punching the man in the head multiple times after a car chase.
It appears the man is briefly rendered unconscious by the blows. Later in the footage Carter says “you enjoy that little nap?”
In a statement, Carter’s lawyer claimed “when the man’s hands were at his waistband, Carter had to make a split-second decision to protect himself and others”.
His lawyer also said that “The deputy had arrested the man before and knew he was out on bond for being a felon in possession of a weapon”.

ODN Video: Is Israel About To Flood Hamas’ Gaza Tunnel Network?
It has been reported that Israel has set up large saltwater pumps, and may be planning to flood Hamas’ tunnel network in Gaza. The Wall Street Journal reported the plan on Monday, citing unnamed US government officials as the source of the information.
There are thought to be hundreds of miles of tunnels underneath Gaza. Hamas commanders and fighters are believed to be using the tunnels to shelter from Israeli attacks. Militants also launch attacks against Israeli forces from tunnel entrances hidden all over Gaza.
Israel vowed not to send its soldiers into the tunnels unless they are already clear of Hamas fighters, fearing taking heavy casualties. It has also previously alluded to using novel techniques to ‘smoke’ Hamas out of the tunnels, turning them into ‘death traps’.
But Hamas and Israel have both acknowledged that some Israeli hostages are currently being kept in the tunnels. This would make flooding the tunnels incredibly risky, and there may not be political or public support for such a move in Israel.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has so far declined to comment on whether or not they are planning to flood the tunnels.

Global Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?
After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests.
As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected?
In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle.
“Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.”

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?
