Colton Computer Technologies

Colton Computer Technologies End to end business IT service providers for the Central West. Yet we haven't had time to stagnate and become bitter, twisted individuals.

Colton Computer Technologies have been around long enough to know what works and what deserves to be set on fire in the IT industry. If you've been promised IT solutions and only received IT screw-ups, then we're the guys for you.

Last night we were back at the ARN Innovation Awards, where we were Highly Commended for Regional Partner of the Year. We didn't bring the trophy home this time, with that honour going to Lateral Plains Pty Ltd. , our fellow SMBiT Professional members. A brilliant result and very well deserved!

Three ARN Regional Partner wins and a highly commended recognition over five years is not bad for a business that started in someone's parents' basement. We've got a pretty incredible team around us, and we're proud of what they've built for Colton and our clients across Central West NSW.

We'll take the finalist spot and a good night out in good company. And there's always next year!

Congratulations to the Lateral Plains team. Nice to see the win stay in the SMBIT family.

As Mitch and Levi put it in the October Between Two Techies, when it comes to cyber incidents, 'it's not a matter of if, but when'. The businesses that come out the other side are the ones that focus on the how, the why, and what they can do better - not perfect, just better.

This month they cover the AI governance conversation your insurer is probably about to have with you (whether you're ready or not), what happened when AI came knocking on Medicare's door, and why 'checking' AI-generated work with more AI doesn't count.

Yes, AI is useful. It's also overhyped, occasionally wrong, and not always the right answer.

We think that's a much more interesting conversation than "AI will change everything." So that's the one we're having at tomorrow's Cyber Sips and Security Tips.

Mitch will walk us through what AI looks like in practice for businesses across Central West NSW. The real results, the red flags, and the stuff worth figuring out before you make any big decisions.

It's free, there'll be drinks and nibbles, and you'll leave with a clearer head than you arrived with.

See you tomorrow (Thursday, 22 October 2026), from 1 – 3 pm at Parrot Distilling Co., 66 Endsleigh Ave, Orange. Drinks and nibbles on the house!

You probably are. If you’re an Aussie SMB, you’re likely in the crosshairs of a cybercriminal looking for a free lunch at your expense.

But as ever, we’ve got some great solutions for you – including LastPass. We’ve found LastPass to be a powerful tool to help head the baddies off at the pass – from strengthening your password practices (goodbye yellow sticky notes!) to rolling out multifactor authentication (MFA) to give you that extra layer of security, and lots more.

With October being Cybersecurity Awareness Month, now’s a good time to refresh your defences. Check out our latest blog on the current threats to your business – and what you can do about it (with a little help from your friends at Colton).

Or just cut to the chase and ask us about your free cybersecurity risk review.

Most conversations about AI are either way too technical or way too enthusiastic. This one won't be either.

Mitch is hosting an open, no-nonsense chat about AI at Parrot Distilling Co. in Orange this October. We'll be digging into what AI actually looks like for businesses here in Central West NSW - what's truly saving people time, what's being oversold, and the questions you should be asking before you commit to anything.

Join us for a relaxed afternoon, good company, and a few drinks while we chat about tech.

Thursday, 22 October 2026, from 1 – 3 pm at Parrot Distilling Co., 66 Endsleigh Ave, Orange. Drinks and nibbles provided!

AI hype is everywhere right now. Half of it is noise, so it can be hard to know what's actually worth your time.

So, this month's Cyber Sips and Security Tips is a bit different. Mitch will walk you through what he's seeing with businesses in our region - the genuine wins, the stuff to watch out for, and a no-nonsense take on where AI is actually at in 2026.

Come for the drinks, stay for the straight talk, leave knowing exactly where to start.

Join us on Thursday, 22 October 2026 from 1 – 3 pm at Parrot Distilling Co., 66 Endsleigh Ave, Orange. Drinks and nibbles on us!

In the 'good old days', it was laughably easy to spot a scam. Today? Not so much.

Modern phishing - like CEO fraud emails - exploits your trust, your instinct to hit deadlines, and normal business processes. There are no dodgy links. No bad grammar. Just a very convincing email that looks like it's from the boss.

And AI has made things even trickier, because phishing is now faster, more targeted, and much harder to detect. Gen AI can write hundreds of convincing phishing emails in minutes.

For more on what modern phishing looks like, what it's costing businesses, and what you can do about it, check out our blog: https://coltoncomputers.com.au/phishing-just-isnt-what-it-used-to-be-ah-the-good-old-days/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=organic.
