AI is making technology faster, more capable and easier to use. It's also making fraud, impersonation and cyber attacks easier to scale.
Cyber security can't be left solely to IT departments anymore. Anyone using email, customer data, payment systems, cloud services, social media or AI tools needs to understand the basic risks.
At Lemon Monkey I take that seriously. I've just achieved the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Cyber Security Practices, covering security principles, threat intelligence, vulnerabilities and controls, testing, incident response, legislation and ethical conduct.
I'm not pretending Lemon Monkey is a cyber-security firm. This is about handling customer information and the tech we use responsibly. Recognising the warning signs, protecting access, and knowing what to do when something goes wrong.
As AI advances, cyber awareness is becoming basic professional competence, not a specialist add-on.
