🚨 TECH ALERT: Critical PHP vulnerabilities require immediate attention.

CISA is urging organizations to patch two critical security flaws in PHP, the technology that powers WordPress and many other websites. Attackers could use these vulnerabilities to run malicious code on an affected server without logging in.
Contact your website developer or hosting provider now to confirm whether your site is affected and that the required patches are in place.

Updating WordPress, plugins, or themes alone won’t resolve the issue—the underlying PHP software must also be patched.

Hatef Yamini, Virtual Chief Information Officer at Uprise Partners, breaks down what happened and the steps you can take to protect your business. 👉https://hubs.ly/Q04C3MqX0

In our latest blog, Gregory Ellis, Uprise Partners' Manager of Professional Services, explores the potential business impact of delaying upgrades, why this is more than just an IT concern, and why taking action now puts you in a position to manage the transition on your terms.

Giving back starts with investing in the communities where we live and work.💡

This summer, Uprise Partners was proud to sponsor the Edison and Ford Winter Estates S.T.E.A.M. summer camp program in Fort Myers, Florida, helping provide hands-on learning experiences for students in grades K–12.

From chemistry and physics to engineering, robotics, and coding, campers had the opportunity to experiment, solve problems, and discover new interests—all while building the curiosity that can spark a lifelong love of learning.

The sponsorship is especially meaningful because Edison and Ford Winter Estates is also a valued Uprise client. Our engineers help keep their technology secure, connected, and supported 24/7, while our sponsorship allowed us to contribute to their educational mission in another meaningful way.

With an Uprise office in Florida and team members who live and work across the state, it’s rewarding to invest in an organization making a difference for local kids and the broader community.

We’re proud to champion education, curiosity, and the next generation of innovators. 🚀
