Does the idea of cybersecurity strike fear into your heart? We know it’s not every business’ specialty, but that doesn’t make it any less important for companies like yours to consider. Today, we want to make it as easy as possible for your employees to practice appropriate cybersecurity measures, and that starts with a simple one-page cybersecurity cheat sheet.

The concept of backups isn’t new. A lot of people have a spare key, and the idea of a spare tire is pretty universally known. While either example could easily make or break someone’s day, the stakes are exponentially higher when business data is involved.

This is why a comprehensive business continuity plan—including a disaster recovery strategy, complete with backup readiness—is essential.

In an era where cybercriminals are more sophisticated and persistent than ever, that obsession is a necessity. Modern security requires a fundamental shift in mindset: you cannot implicitly trust anyone. Not outside hackers, and—uncomfortable as it may be—not even the people inside your organization.

This trust-no-one approach is the foundation of Zero-Trust Security.

It isn’t rare for business owners to seek out opportunities to trim expenses and cut costs wherever possible. Your security should never be someplace you look… particularly if you hope to ever secure the increasingly crucial business insurance you need.

Now you may be saying, “But my IT is surely good enough.” Unfortunately, that standard isn’t sufficient in the eyes of insurance providers, and as a result, it actually becomes more expensive than having the right technology protections in the first place.

As an IT service provider, our techs spend their days at the intersection of cutting-edge and business-critical. In 2026, the conversation about each has shifted. It is no longer about whether you should use AI, because everyone is, but about the risks of trusting it blindly.

We have seen it firsthand: companies that treat AI like a set-it-and-forget-it solution often end up calling us for emergency damage control. Here are the major pitfalls of over-trusting AI and how to keep your business from becoming a cautionary tale.
