Have you heard of endpoint protection, but are not really sure what it is or why you need it?

“Endpoint security is the process of protecting devices like desktops, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets from malicious threats and cyberattacks” according to Fortinet. So obviously this is very important when working for any company that uses devices for work or communicating with coworkers or students. Cyber attacks usually happen via endpoints and can then infiltrate the whole networks that the endpoints are connected to.

The most common types of cyber-attacks are phishing attacks, ransomware, password attacks, and many more. Check out our blog post on how to recognize phishing attacks. There are many ways for Cybercriminals to infiltrate your device. Using endpoint protection software gives an added layer of protection for your network.

Each color has a meaning or feeling associated with it. If you teach art or any creative subject, teaching your students how to tell a story and create a feeling in their work through colors is so powerful.

This knowledge can be put to use when creating web pages, advertising, marketing, and traditional artwork. Adobe has a great article about what each color means and the feelings they can invoke. Check it out here! And use the color palette generator from Adobe to try creating your own color palette! This could be a great art exercise for your students to pick a feeling and create a color palette to match it!
