Myth: "Our email is with Microsoft/Google, so spoofing protection is automatic."

Reality: the platform gives you the tools, but SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records still have to be configured correctly for your domain — and monitored afterward.

It's like buying a deadbolt and never installing it. The protection exists. It's just not switched on.

Not sure where you stand? That's exactly what we'd check first. — CNS

October Windows updates are out — and one of them is urgent. Microsoft patched a zero-day (CVE-2026-96951) that is already being exploited: it lets attackers bypass the security warnings on downloaded files, so a malicious attachment can open without the usual prompts. That makes phishing emails more dangerous until you are patched.

If your business runs Windows, get October updates installed — do not snooze this one. And remind the team: think twice before opening unexpected attachments, patched or not.

This situation is still developing — we will update this post as more is confirmed.

Heads up for any business using Ivanti Connect Secure for remote access: a critical zero-day dropped yesterday (CVE-2026-104935). It lets attackers in with no login at all, and it is already being exploited in the wild to steal credentials. CISA put it on its must-patch list.

If your office uses Ivanti VPN, this is an emergency patch — talk to your IT provider today. Not sure what your remote access runs on? Worth a five-minute check.

This situation is still developing — we will update this post as more is confirmed.

Anyone can send an email "from" your domain. Let that sink in.

Without SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly configured, attackers can spoof your business address to scam your clients, your vendors — and your own team. Your reputation takes the hit.

These are free, standard email protections. But "we have email" doesn't mean they're set up — most SMB domains we check are missing at least one.

We check and fix this for clients all the time. Worth 15 minutes of your week. — CNS

Offboarding isn't just HR paperwork — it's security.

The cleanest setup we've seen: one central directory, one checklist, same-day revocation across every system. The messiest: a spreadsheet of passwords, three admins who "think" they removed access, and a former employee's email still active months later.

If access control at your company runs on memory and good intentions, let's build you a real process. — CNS

Quick audit question: how many people who no longer work for you could still log into something today?

Old email accounts. Shared logins nobody changed. A vendor portal from two jobs ago.

Every orphaned account is an unlocked door. This week, pull the list of active accounts and compare it to your actual team. You might be surprised. — CNS
