That annual licensing renewal for your cameras and network gear feels like paying twice for something you already own. It isn't. New on the blog: what that renewal actually buys, and why the alternative (gear nobody patches) is how ransomware crews get in the door.

Somewhere on your network there's a device nobody has touched since the day it was installed. Unpatched network devices are how attackers actually get into...

A quick question for anyone running a business: when someone leaves your company, how many separate apps do you have to remember to shut off? If the answer is "more than one," you have doors you can't account for. New on the blog: the ten-years-later Dropbox story that proves it, and the fix already included in Microsoft 365.

A friendly heads-up for anyone running a business: think of the last person who left your company. Who turned off their accounts? All of them? New on the blog: what stale accounts actually cost you, and the 90-minute cleanup that closes the doors you forgot you had.

Systems hygiene sounds like a chore your IT person keeps postponing. (Fair. It usually is.) Here's a quick test of whether that's costing you: think of the...

A friendly heads-up for any CEO friends running a 20 to 100 person company:
Dave Carlson published a piece this week about what actually happens to a small business during a ransomware attack, hour by hour, dollar by dollar, and the cloud-first move that prevents most of it.
Microsoft asked 2,000 small businesses about cyber risk last year. 44% of them said they probably wouldn't be attacked again. They were the ones who already had been. The other denial patterns are just as wild.
Worth 12 minutes of your morning coffee.

An hour-by-hour walkthrough of what actually happens when ransomware hits a 50-person company. The phone calls, the cost, the recovery, and what to do six months earlier.

Congratulations to our Q2 Customer Feedback Winners - Zorah Williams, Todd Weight, Ashley Bitner!
We do not use SLAs in our customer agreements.
Most companies in our industry govern their actions and measure their customer success with arbitrary Service Level Agreements that are heavily slanted towards the vendor. Service companies often hide behind these SLAs to “prove to the customer” that they are performing well. We call these SLAs “contracted predefined excuses.”
The only measure we use for customer success is our actual customers and their feedback. It is NOT our customer’s responsibility to provide us with metrics – generally, we do that for them. So whenever a customer takes the time to provide us feedback – no matter if it’s good, bad, or ugly – we enter them in a drawing for some tech goodies and gift cards every quarter.
Great service isn’t just in our domain name, it’s in our DNA!

Spicy Tech Talk: Let's chat about why Google's security game is giving us "trying their best" vibes...
