Dave is a smart, capable guy who was recently hired as the first-ever internal IT Director for a rapidly growing company. When he got the job, the business owner was thrilled. The company had finally reached the milestone where it was large enough to have its own dedicated technology leader. No more relying on the tech-savvy office manager to fix the router. They had a professional in the building.

Its branding is flawless and the one is both professional and polished. It states that your vendor has changed banks, and they are requesting that your upcoming invoice should be wired to a new routing number. Would your accountant know better than to accept this email at face value, or would they be suspicious of this type of message?

Organizations configured a centralized firewall, issued user passwords, and assumed that any traffic originating inside the physical office network was inherently safe. That strategy fails to protect modern operations.

New artificial intelligence tools are released frequently, promising increased organizational productivity. Leadership teams often implement these platforms quickly, only to find that employees stop using them within six months. New technology must address a specific operational inefficiency to be effective. Use this five-question framework to determine if a new software tool justifies the investment. If a tool cannot satisfy all five criteria, it should not be adopted.

Cybersecurity best practices expect unique, complex passwords for every single one. That is a massive ask. Recently, data from NordPass showed that the average number of passwords a person manages actually dropped, falling from 170 down to 120. On the business side, that number shrank from 87 work-related passwords down to about 67.
