It's WHAT'S THAT? WEDNESDAY!

This week's topic: CLOUD BACKUP ☁️

🔍 WHAT’S THAT?

Did you know that October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?! 🔐

This week, we're highlighting an important part of protecting your business: Cloud Backup.

Imagine arriving at work tomorrow and discovering that your important business files are gone. Whether caused by accidental deletion, hardware failure, or a ransomware attack, losing critical data can bring business operations to a halt. That's where cloud backup comes in!

Cloud backup keeps an additional copy of your important business data in a secure, off-site location, helping you recover when something goes wrong.

✅ Why should your business care?
🔹 Protect Your Data: Keep additional copies of important files, documents, and business records.
🔹 Recover from Cyberattacks: Maintain a recovery option if ransomware damages or encrypts your files.
🔹 Reduce Downtime: Restore important information faster and get your team back to work.
🔹 Support Compliance: A well-managed backup strategy can help your business meet applicable data protection, retention, and recovery requirements.
🔹 Prepare for the Unexpected: Hardware failures, human mistakes, and cyber incidents don't have to mean permanent data loss.

💡 Here's something important to remember:
Simply having backups isn't enough. A good backup strategy also includes:
✔️ Automatic, regularly scheduled backups
✔️ Secure, protected backup storage
✔️ Regular testing to make sure files can actually be restored
✔️ A clear recovery plan when something goes wrong

Cybersecurity isn't just about preventing attacks. It's also about being prepared to recover when something happens.

During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, take a few minutes to ask yourself:
"If our business lost its critical data today, could we confidently restore it?"

At CBC Technovations, we help local businesses evaluate their backup systems, strengthen cybersecurity practices, and identify potential gaps in their IT protection.

This week's topic: Cybersecurity Awareness Month

🔐 What’s That?

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a good reminder that protecting your business doesn’t have to start with complicated technology.
A few basics can make a meaningful difference:

• Be aware — Know the common threats targeting businesses, including phishing and suspicious emails.
• Be smart — Use strong passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Be cautious — Think before clicking links, opening attachments, or sharing sensitive information.
• Be proactive — Keep devices, software, backups, and security protections up to date.

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue. It’s a business responsibility—and good security habits across your team matter.

Not sure where your business stands? CBC Technovations offers a complimentary cybersecurity and IT review to help identify areas worth a closer look.

It's "What’s That? Wednesday"!

Today's topic: EDR

What's that? 🔍

EDR stands for Endpoint Detection & Response. It helps monitor laptops, desktops, and other business devices for suspicious activity so potential threats can be identified and addressed quickly.

Why might your business need EDR?
• Detect suspicious activity that traditional antivirus may miss
• Improve visibility across business devices
• Help identify threats earlier and reduce potential downtime
• Give your IT team better information when investigating security concerns
• Strengthen your overall cybersecurity strategy

But EDR isn’t simply a matter of installing another security product. The right approach depends on your devices, users, existing security tools, environment, and overall risk.

CBC Technovations can help evaluate whether EDR makes sense for your organization, review your current endpoint protection, recommend the right approach, and assist with deployment, configuration, and ongoing management.

Today's topic: MFA

What's that?

🔐 MFA stands for Multi-Factor Authentication — an extra layer of security that helps verify it’s really you signing into an account.

Why does MFA matter for your business?

• Helps protect accounts if a password is stolen

• Reduces the risk of unauthorized sign-ins

• Adds protection to Microsoft 365, email, and other business systems

• Helps reduce the business disruption that can come from compromised accounts

Simply turning MFA on is a good start — but making sure it’s enabled and properly configured across the right accounts is just as important.

CBC Technovations can help review your Microsoft 365 and business accounts to ensure MFA is enabled, properly configured, and aligned with your organization’s security needs.

Today's topic: Email Spoofing

What's that?

Email spoofing is when a message is made to look like it came from someone you trust—such as a coworker, vendor, or company executive. This tactic is used by bad actors to facilitate financial scams or to exfiltrate data or compromise your accounts.

Watch out for:

🚩 Unexpected or urgent requests

🚩 Requests for payments or sensitive information

🚩 Messages that seem unusual for the sender

When in doubt, verify the request another way before clicking, replying, or sending anything.

Today's topic: BEC

What's that?

BEC stands for Business Email Compromise.

It’s a type of email scam in which criminals impersonate someone you trust—such as an owner, executive, employee, vendor, or business contact—to convince someone to send money, share sensitive information, or change payment details.

The dangerous part? The email may look completely legitimate.

A few good habits can reduce the risk:
🔹 Verify unexpected payment or banking changes using a separate, trusted method such as a known phone number.
🔹 Use MFA to strengthen account protection.
🔹 Be cautious with urgent requests involving money or sensitive information.
🔹 Make sure your Microsoft 365 and email security settings are properly configured.

Protecting business email isn’t just about protecting an inbox. It helps protect your money, data, clients, and day-to-day operations.

If you’re not sure where your setup stands, CBC Technovations offers a complimentary cybersecurity and IT review for local businesses. We can take a look at Microsoft 365 security, MFA, email protection, account settings, backups, and other areas that may need attention.

It's What's That? Wednesday!

Today's topic: ITDR

What's that?

ITDR stands for Identity Threat Detection and Response.

In simple terms, it helps protect the accounts and identities your employees use to access business systems and data.

Why does it matter?

🔐 Helps detect suspicious account activity
👤 Identifies potential identity or credential misuse
☁️ Adds another layer of protection around cloud and Microsoft 365 accounts
🚨 Helps your IT team respond when account activity doesn’t look right

For small businesses, protecting identities is an important part of protecting the business itself.

How can CBC Technovations help?

We can help review your account security, MFA, Microsoft 365 environment, and other IT risks to identify areas that may need attention.

Our "What’s That? Wednesday" feature has returned!

This week: Shadow AI

What's that?

AI tools are becoming part of the everyday workplace — sometimes without the business even knowing they’re being used.

That’s where Shadow AI comes in.

What is it?
Shadow AI is the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI-powered apps for work without the knowledge, approval, or oversight of the company or IT team.
Why does it matter? Employees may unintentionally enter confidential business information, client data, financial details, or other sensitive information into tools that haven’t been reviewed or approved.

Should businesses just ban AI? Usually, that’s not the best answer. AI can be extremely useful. The goal is to give employees clear guidance about which tools are approved, what information can be shared, and how AI should be used responsibly.

Where can CBC help? CBC Technovations can work with your business to develop an AI Acceptable Usage Policy, evaluate technology and security risks, establish practical guidelines, and help your employees understand how to use AI more safely.

AI adoption shouldn’t mean giving up control of your business data.

If your organization is already using AI — officially or unofficially — it may be time to put some guardrails around it.

Not sure where to start? CBC offers a complimentary cybersecurity and IT review for local businesses. We’re always happy to provide a second opinion.
