Attackers have automated yet most businesses still haven't.

Most businesses train their staff to spot phishing emails by looking for poor grammar and unusual sender addresses. That advice is becoming less useful by the month.

Attackers are now using AI to write clean, well-targeted messages built from information that is publicly available about your company and your people. It takes minutes and costs almost nothing.

The bigger concern is speed. If someone gains access to your network at 2am on a Sunday, how long before anyone notices? For many UK SMEs the honest answer is Monday morning.

Our latest blog covers what has changed and what businesses can do about it without building an internal security team:

Is your antivirus software doing more than you think? Or less?

It's a question worth asking. Many businesses assume antivirus covers them. In reality, it only catches threats it already knows about, and today's attacks are a lot more sophisticated than that.

We've written a short blog breaking down the difference between traditional antivirus and Managed Detection and Response (MDR), what each one actually does, and why most businesses benefit from having both.

Worth a read if you're thinking about your cyber security setup. Link to the blog in the comments below.

51% of UK SMEs experienced a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months, and most assumed they were too small to be a target.

Smaller businesses have fewer controls, less IT resource, and often no incident response plan. That makes them easier to hit, not less worth targeting.

At Artemis, we help SMEs put the right protections in place before they need them.

The Director of GCHQ recently warned that cyber security has never been more important. If you run a small or medium sized business, that warning applies to you.

Attackers do not target businesses by size. They target weaknesses. And smaller businesses often have more of them.

The good news? A few straightforward steps can make a real difference.

We have written about what the latest GCHQ warning means for SMEs and what you should be doing about it.

A lot of the conversation around AI focuses on big, headline use cases, but what we’re seeing in is much simpler and far more practical.

3 ways we have noticed businesses are already saving time with Microsoft Copilot:

• Drafting and replying to emails without starting from scratch
• Turning meetings into clear actions automatically
• Analysing spreadsheets without relying on formulas

Nothing too complicated, just less time spent on repetitive tasks.

What’s been most noticeable is who’s using it. Not just IT teams, but people across the business who want to get through their work more efficiently.

Keep an eye on this page, we’ll be sharing some real examples of this in practice soon.

AI is already being used in the workplace. For many businesses, the challenge now is understanding how to use it properly, securely, and in a way that actually saves time.

We’ll show you practical examples of Copilot in action across Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, explain how it compares to other AI tools, and cover key security and data considerations for businesses using Microsoft 365.

This session is aimed at business owners, IT leaders and decision-makers who want a clear, practical understanding of Copilot and whether it makes sense for their organisation.

Cyber security isn’t just about firewalls and software. It’s also about people.

Just one weak password, an opened email attachment from someone you trust, or a rushed link click can put your whole organisation at risk.

Businesses should be building a culture where everyone plays their part and is aware of the risks out there. From setting the right tone at the top to keeping training short and practical, small changes make a big difference.

We’ve put together some straightforward tips here to help keep your business safe: https://artemis.uk.com/how-to-build-a-cyber-security-culture-in-your-organisation/
