Happy National Boss Day!

A good boss does more than keep the wheels turning. They clear roadblocks, make decisions when things get messy, and help the team do their best work.

If you lead a team, today is also a good reminder to thank the people who make your job possible. Leadership works best when appreciation goes both ways.

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Good security does not have to be complicated, but it does need to be consistent. Start with the basics: MFA, updates, password managers, backups, and a team that knows how to spot suspicious emails.

Small habits add up fast, especially for small businesses.

Happy National Coffee Day.

The unofficial fuel of IT work, early morning troubleshooting, and the occasional “why is this printer like this?” moment.

Around here, coffee and good systems both matter. One keeps the day moving. The other keeps the business moving.

Happy National IT Professionals Day.

Here’s to the folks who keep the Wi-Fi working, the printers behaving, the backups running, and the weird error messages from turning into full-blown chaos.

If you have an IT pro in your world, buy them a coffee today. Or at least submit a ticket with details. That counts too.

What is one IT save you are still grateful for?

09/10/2026

The World Economic Forum recently highlighted a trend that many IT teams are already seeing in practice. AI is not just helping defenders. It is helping attackers move faster.

What used to take a skilled attacker days or weeks can now be done in hours. Phishing campaigns can be personalized at scale. Vulnerability research can be automated. Social engineering can be generated in real time.

For businesses, this means:
- The time between discovery and exploitation is shrinking
- Security controls need to be layered, because any single point of failure can be found faster
- Monitoring and detection matter as much as prevention
- The best strategy is assuming something will get through and making sure you can respond quickly

Speed is the new battlefield. The question is not just whether you are protected. It is how fast you can detect and respond.

Microsoft just released its June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates, and the number is striking. 206 vulnerabilities patched in a single month, including at least one that is already being exploited in the wild.

That should get every IT team's attention.

A few things this tells us:
- The attack surface is not shrinking. It grows every month
- Patch management needs to be a scheduled discipline, not a reaction to headlines
- Zero-day exploits do not wait for your next maintenance window
- Managed IT providers who can patch quickly and reliably are worth the investment

If your patch cycle is longer than two weeks, you are leaving a known window open for attackers who are already moving.

Happy Labor Day.

Hope you get a real pause today, whether that means a cookout, a quiet morning, or just not checking your inbox for a bit.

Grateful for the people who keep our businesses, schools, shops, and communities moving every day.

What is your favorite way to spend the long weekend?

The Department of Defense has moved CMMC from the planning phase into active enforcement, and defense contractors are feeling it. The Senate NDAA is even proposing grant programs just to help contractors meet the requirements.

This matters beyond the defense sector too. When the federal government tightens compliance requirements, the standards tend to flow down to subcontractors, state agencies, and eventually private industry.

A few things to watch:
- If you are anywhere in the defense supply chain, now is the time to assess your compliance gaps
- CMMC is not just a checklist. It requires documented processes, evidence, and ongoing maintenance
- Managed IT providers who understand CMMC can be a real advantage for contractors trying to meet the deadline
- The cost of preparation is always less than the cost of losing a contract

Compliance is not exciting. But losing business because you missed a deadline is worse.

Security researchers just uncovered a supply chain attack that is different from the usual compromise. The Shai-Hulud worm is self-propagating. Once it infects one package, it automatically spreads to others, compromising over 100 NPM and PyPI packages in a chain reaction.

This is not someone manually inserting malicious code into one library. It is an automated worm that uses the trust relationships between packages to spread itself.

For businesses, the implications are significant:
- Your dependencies have dependencies, and you probably do not audit all of them
- A single compromised upstream package can cascade into your stack without anyone on your team making a mistake
- Software composition analysis and dependency pinning are no longer optional
- The best defense is knowing exactly what is in your environment and who maintains it

Open source is not the problem. Unmanaged open source is.
