There's usually one person in a business who ends up being the go-to for everything IT related, even though it was never officially their job.

They know the passwords, remember how things were set up, and always seem to have the answer when something goes wrong.

But what happens if they're not around…?

03/11/2026

You know that screen that pops up when you sign into a new app with "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Microsoft"? The one that asks "allow this app to access your email?" and you click Allow without really reading it?

Turns out that click is now one of the easiest ways for someone to get into your accounts. No password needed.

Someone sets up a fake app and gets it registered with Google or Microsoft, which sounds harder than it is. They message you, usually pretending to be someone official or someone you'd trust, with a link to a "document”.

That link takes you to a real Google or Microsoft login page, not a fake one, so everything looks legit. Then it asks you to allow the app access to your account.

If you click yes, that's it. The app now has a permanent key to read your email, send messages as you, and dig through your files, all without ever touching your password.

What catches people out is what happens next. If they realise something's wrong and change their password, it doesn't help. The access the app was given doesn't depend on your password, so it keeps working.

The only fix is going into your account's security settings and manually removing that app's access.

This got serious enough that the FBI put out a public warning about it recently, which tells you it's not a rare case.

So here's something useful you can do in five minutes: Go into your Google or Microsoft account security settings right now and look at "connected apps" or "app permissions”. I'd put money on you finding at least one thing in there you don't recognise, or forgot you ever approved. Go on, have a look. I'll wait.

If you find something suspicious, remove it. If everything looks fine, great, now you know how to check next time too.

It's easy to assume the people who grew up with technology are the least likely to get caught out online.

But that assumption can create a blind spot.

Cyber criminals don't care how confident someone is with technology.

They care whether someone will click at the wrong moment…

Can we talk about passwords for a second?

I still can't get over how much damage a text string can do. One weak, reused, or phished password, and someone's in your email, your bank, your client files. All of it. It's wild that this is still how most businesses lock their front door.

There's a better way now, and it's called a passkey.

A passkey isn't something you type, it’s something your device holds onto for you. Think of it like a key and a lock that were made together as a matching pair. One half stays on the server (say, your email provider). The other half never leaves your phone or laptop.

When you log in, your device proves it has the right half, usually with your fingerprint, your face, or your PIN. No password ever gets typed, sent, or stored anywhere someone could steal it.

And the part I love is that passkeys are tied to the exact website they were made for. So if someone sends your team a fake login page that looks identical to the real one (a classic phishing trick) the passkey simply won't work there.

Your device checks the address behind the scenes and says "nope, wrong site" before anything can be handed over. Password managers can be tricked, but this can't in the same way.

The numbers back it up too. Companies using passkeys are seeing login success rates around 93%, compared to 63% for the old password-plus-code combo. Fewer failed logins also means fewer "I'm locked out, help" tickets landing on your IT support’s desk… reportedly over 80% fewer.

Now, I'm not going to tell you to rip out every password tomorrow. That's not realistic, and it's not necessary. Most businesses run a mix for a while. Some apps support passkeys already (think Google, Microsoft, Salesforce), others are older systems that'll need passwords a bit longer.

Start with the accounts that would hurt the most if they got breached, get those switched over first, then work outward.

If you're not sure where your business stands on this, that's a completely normal thing to ask your IT support partner about. It's a much smaller project than it sounds, and a much bigger deal for your security than it might seem.

If your employees are using AI at work, here's a question worth asking:

Are they using the tools you've approved...
..or the ones they've found themselves?

New research suggests more than half of employees are using AI tools that haven't been approved by their employer 😬

Even more concerning, some admit they've entered sensitive company information into those tools 😱

I don't think this is happening because employees are trying to break the rules.

Most likely, they're trying to get their work done more quickly.

If the approved AI tool is difficult to access, doesn't do what they need, or isn't available at all, people will look elsewhere.

That's how shadow AI starts.

Shadow AI is when employees use AI tools without the knowledge or approval of the business.

The problem isn't necessarily the tool.

It's that the business has no visibility over where company information is being shared or how it's being stored 👀

Banning AI won’t work.

People will find another way.

And your business will miss out.

A better approach is to give employees clear guidance on which AI tools they should use, what information should never be entered into them, and why those rules exist.

At the same time, ask whether the approved tools are meeting people's needs.

If they aren't, employees will look for alternatives.

AI has huge potential to help businesses become more productive.

But it needs the same level of governance as any other business system.

Otherwise, you don't know where your company information is ending up.

👉 Does your business have a clear AI policy, or are employees making their own decisions about which AI tools to use?

An IT review is about understanding where your technology stands today and where it could support your business better.

A few small improvements can make a big difference to security and productivity.

And the amount of time your team spends dealing with avoidable problems…

28/10/2026

Here's something that you should probably be aware of…

Google is introducing a new setting that lets some of the information people submit through its services, such as voice searches and images uploaded to Google Lens, be used to help train its AI 🤖

For many people, it's switched on by default.

Now, this isn't about Google looking through every file on your computer.

It's the information you actively upload or submit through its services.

For a lot of businesses, that won't be a problem 😮‍💨

But if your team regularly uses Google tools for work, you’ll want to think about what information people might be sharing without even realising.

A screenshot of an internal document…
A photo of a whiteboard after a meeting…
A voice search that includes client information…

These things aren’t unusual, but they could contain information you'd rather keep inside your business 🤐

That's why you should review these settings whenever a provider introduces a new AI feature.

The default option isn't necessarily the right one for every business.

As AI becomes part of more of the software we use every day, understanding where your data goes is becoming as important as understanding what the software can do.

It's another reason why having a simple AI policy for your team is worthwhile.

It doesn't need to be pages long.

Just some clear guidance on which AI tools people should use, and what information should never be shared with them.

👉 Have you reviewed your business's AI settings recently, or are you relying on the default options?

27/10/2026

AI has become the answer to a lot of business questions lately.

Need to save time? AI.
Need to improve productivity? AI.
Need to work smarter? AI.

But there’s a question that isn’t being asked often enough: Are you seeing a return on the investment…?

26/10/2026

Keep reaching for your phone while you work? Try this and you might not need to anymore…

25/10/2026

There's a question I get asked a lot whenever AI comes up 🤔

"Is it going to replace people's jobs?"

The honest answer is... it's not that simple.

A study looking at more than 21,000 companies found something quite interesting…

The organisations making the biggest investments in AI didn't shrink their workforce.

Over the following couple of years, they hired more people 👌

That might sound surprising when so many headlines focus on job cuts ✂️

But it makes sense when you think about how businesses work.

Buying AI software doesn't magically transform a company overnight 🪄

People still need to work out where it fits, redesign processes, train colleagues, support customers and find better ways of working.

AI can help people get more done, but it doesn't remove the need for people altogether.

In many cases, it changes the type of work they're doing.

Of course, some jobs will evolve.

Some repetitive tasks will become automated 🤖

But that's been happening with technology for decades.

To get ahead, instead of asking, "Which jobs can AI replace?"

Ask, "Which jobs can AI make better?"

If you want to see the biggest benefits, take the time to integrate it properly, experiment with it and help your team learn how to use it well.

Technology creates opportunities when people know how to use it.

💭 Has AI changed the way your team works yet, or are you still working out where it fits?
