National Email Week: How email attacks are evolving in 2026

National Email Week: Why basic spam filters aren’t enough to protect your business

Email is an essential tool for your business, yet it remains subject to constant, targeted attacks. Every day, your employees open messages from vendors, clients, and partners, trusting that whatever is in their inbox is legitimate. Cybercriminals are banking on exploiting that trust. As National Email Week puts a spotlight on business communication, it’s worth […]

Commonly overlooked security gaps in SMBs

For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), cybersecurity only becomes a priority after a breach has already caused damage. By that point, weak passwords, outdated systems, poor access controls, and unpatched software may have already given attackers an easy way in. Cybercriminals often rely on these everyday security gaps rather than advanced tactics. In this […]

The ROI of upgrading your business phone system

Your phone system touches every department, but it’s often the last thing businesses think to upgrade. While a traditional phone system may seem sufficient, its shortcomings carry hidden costs.

World Password Day: What are passkeys, and should your business use them?

For years, passwords have been the standard way to secure logins. Yet, for many small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), they have also become a daily operational problem.

What is MFA fatigue, and how can you fight it?

World Password Day is a timely reminder that cybersecurity is no longer the IT department’s concern.

World Password Day: Why regular password resets make your business less secure

For years, routine password resets were treated as standard cybersecurity practice. Many small and midsized businesses (SMBs) traditionally required password changes every 30, 60, or 90 days, assuming frequent updates mean stronger protection. Today, security guidance says otherwise. Policies that require regular password changes often create weaker habits, more support issues, and greater business risk. […]

Why break/fix IT is draining your business budget

When something breaks, fixing it seems like the most practical and cost-effective way to handle IT. Many small and midsize businesses (SMBs) begin with this approach: call for support when the tech problem can’t be resolved with a simple reboot. The problem is that break/fix IT only addresses issues after the damage has already been […]

Backup vs. business continuity: Understanding the difference

For most small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), any disruption in operations, whether it is a cyberattack, hardware failure, accidental deletion, or a natural disaster, can be disastrous. Many organizations respond by implementing data backups, assuming that backups alone are enough to keep the business going. However, backups and business continuity are not the same thing. […]

Why SMBs need to back up Microsoft 365 data

For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Microsoft 365 has become the backbone of daily operations. Email, files, collaboration tools, and business records often live entirely in such applications as Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams.  Because Microsoft 365 is a cloud platform, many business owners assume their data is automatically protected. However, cloud availability and […]
