🍕 Incident Response Rule #1: Keep the team fueled.

Quick pizza break after today’s IR Game workshop.

Cyber incidents are stressful. Pizza helps. 😄

Good news for Microsoft 365 users this morning - yesterday’s issues appear to have subsided. 👍

The DownDetector graph tells the story pretty clearly: a big spike in reported problems, followed by a return to normal levels.

If things seemed a little “off” yesterday, it may not have been you!

We keep an eye on outages like these so we can quickly distinguish between a local IT problem and a broader service issue.

24 years ago Ann left MIT to build an IT company for small businesses in greater Boston. Not for enterprise clients, but for the law firm on Main Street, the medical practice down the road, and the accounting firm that just needed someone they could trust.

This is the team she built.

Every person in this photo shows up every day for the same reason: to make sure small businesses in greater Boston have access to IT support that actually works when it matters.

If your business deserves better than what it is getting right now, we would love to talk.

Reviews like this mean everything to our team. 🙏

⏳ Ten years is a long time in the technology world. The threat landscape has changed dramatically, the tools have evolved, and the stakes for small businesses have never been higher. Having the right IT partner in your corner through all of that is not something every business can say.

If your business is navigating today's cybersecurity landscape without that kind of support behind it, that is worth paying attention to. Let's have a chat on where you stand and how we can help you feel better about your overall security. 🔐

This is Jonathan doing the work that most small businesses never see and rarely think about until something goes wrong. 👨‍💻

Monitoring, reviewing and catching the small things before they become the kind of problem that ruins a day.

The businesses that never have a bad story to tell are not the ones that got lucky, but the ones that had someone paying attention long before anything broke.

📣 Is someone doing that for yours? If not, let's have a chat and discuss how we can support you.

95% of cybersecurity breaches come down to human error.

It does not have to be a sophisticated hack or a zero-day exploit. It can be as easy as someone who clicked a link, reused a password, or left a system unpatched for too long.

The most advanced security tools in the world cannot fully protect a business whose team does not know what to look for. Training, awareness, and the right habits matter just as much as the technology.

Does your team know what to do when something looks off?
If not, give us a call!

There is a common assumption in small businesses that a good team will figure it out when something goes wrong.

Good teams do not figure it out, they follow a plan.

When a server fails, a ransomware note appears, or an outage hits at the worst possible moment, the decisions that need to be made in the next hour are not the ones you want to be making for the first time under pressure. Every minute spent figuring out who calls who, what comes back online first, and how to communicate with clients is a minute your business is not recovering.

The businesses that bounce back quickly are not the ones with the best people in the room. They are the ones who already knew what to do before they needed to do it.

The easiest recovery is the one you already planned for.
If you aren't sure where to start, send us a message and we'll help you start planning.
