    Cybercasing
    Far from Home Alone style, cybercasing brings crime into the 21st. Today’s criminals use your trusty devices against you. Tech-savvy bad guys let you do their work for them via geotagging, social media “check-ins,” and easily-identifiable features in posted pictures. Make a conscious choice to hold some key personal info close to the vest. That’s one simple way to protect yourself and those you love—case closed.

    UBI & Telematics
    Usage-Based Insurance takes personalization to new heights. If you’re a grade A driver, congrats! But if you’re still working at it, telematics are your ticket to self-growth and (hopefully) a little extra spending cash.

    Whaling Attack
    whaling attack: Not your momma's attempt at lesson teaching, this maritime-inspired techie homophone will catch decision-makers by the worst surprise. Targeting C-suite and high-level end users, sneaky cybercriminals use carefully crafted emails to reel in a company's "big phish," gaining insider access to company jewels. Sounds like it’s time to drop anchor and chart a new course—toward protection.

    Vicarious Liability
    Vicarious liability: Put simply, liability for employee actions comes down on employers’ shoulders—and it can do some damage.

    Silo
    Ironically versatile, this jargon-y noun/verb/adjective hurts both sides of the IT/C-suite aisle. The dangers are obvious, and business leaders are moving to steer clear. So let's encourage progress—get those silos gone and let ideas flow free.

    Inventory
    Not just for businesses. In the event of natural disaster, fire or theft, a comprehensive accounting of personal property is priceless. Yet who of us can itemize by rote what's stashed in the living room, let alone the attic, hall closets, basement, etc.? Especially when it comes to determining replacement value on damaged, destroyed or "irreplaceable" items, your annually-updated inventory could save you.

    Goldbricking
    Just another cheap hat trick, goldbricking sure can sell the goods. A facade of the shiny stuff can fool a trusting audience and a distracted employer alike. Paint it any way you like—when it comes to affecting your business, goldbricking is as subtle as a lead balloon.

    Job Lock
    Confining and limiting, this recently lifted prison sentence trapped so many in jobs they would have otherwise left—if not for the risk of living without healthcare. Once a get-out-of-jail-free card for providers, pre-existing conditions and illnesses are not the obstacles to coverage that they once were.

    Dictionary Attack
    A logophile tongue-lashing? Wishful thinking. This "dictionary" is the cyber bully's tool. Using automation, hackers systematically try every entry as a password, hoping you chose "puppy" or "daisies"—or dare we say, "password"—to secure your sensitive data. What to do?
