Many of your accounts (banking, payroll, social media, shopping) use your email for password resets. If someone gets into your inbox, they can often get into your other accounts too. That's why CISA and the FTC both recommend protecting your email with multifactor authentication.

**Here's a 10 minute fix:**

1. Open your email account's security settings.
2. Look for "2 step verification" or "multifactor authentication" and turn it on.
3. Choose an authenticator app or security key if offered.
4. Save your backup codes somewhere safe.

Never share a verification code with anyone who contacts you first, no matter who they say they are.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so this is a good week to knock it out. Questions? The InformaTek team in Lawrence is always happy to help.

You didn't start a business to deal with passwords, printers, and Wi-Fi problems. If IT at your company falls to whoever is available, and you only call someone after something breaks, that's time and money lost every week.

InformaTek works as the outsourced IT department for small and midsize businesses across Northeast Kansas, so technology stops being your problem.

What changes for you:
• Your staff calls us instead of interrupting you
• Problems get caught and fixed before anyone notices
• New hires are set up on day one, and people who leave lose access the same day
• We deal with your internet, software, and phone vendors, so you don't have to
• Tested backups, so losing data becomes a quick fix instead of a crisis

You get one predictable monthly cost instead of surprise repair bills, and it often costs less than hiring a single full time IT person. Month to month or annual terms.

Could one click put patient data at risk?

Phishing emails are designed to look legitimate, and even experienced employees can be caught by a convincing message. A single mistake can lead to stolen credentials, unauthorized access, or exposure of sensitive information.

We offer simulated phishing campaigns and detailed reporting to help identify training gaps, measure employee awareness, and strengthen your organization’s defenses over time.

Would your team spot the warning signs?

48% of breaches involve ransomware.

Ransomware is no longer just about locking files. Attackers may steal data, disrupt operations, and use extortion to increase the pressure to pay.

Strong backups, endpoint protection, patching, access controls, and a tested response plan can dramatically reduce the impact of an attack.

Would your business be ready if ransomware hit today?

62% of breaches involve human error or social engineering.

Even strong security tools can be undermined by a convincing phishing email, reused password, or simple mistake. Cybersecurity is not just about protecting systems, it is also about helping people recognize and avoid threats before they become incidents.

Training, layered security, and strong verification processes can make a major difference.

Is your team prepared?

Fake invoices are getting harder to spot. Attackers can impersonate vendors, spoof email accounts, and change payment details with just enough accuracy to look legitimate.

A single rushed payment can become an expensive mistake. Verification procedures, email security, and employee awareness can stop fraud before money leaves the account.

Could your team spot the difference?

The FBI received more than 1 million internet crime complaints in 2025, with reported losses exceeding $20 billion, up 26% from 2024.

Cyber threats are automated, persistent, and target organizations of every size. Strong cybersecurity is no longer optional.

We help businesses reduce risk, strengthen defenses, and stay prepared.

According to CISA, more than 90% of successful cyberattacks start with a phishing email.

The best way to find out if your team would click is a phishing simulation. We send your team realistic test emails, see who clicks, and turn those moments into quick training instead of a real breach.

No blame, no gotcha. Just a clear picture of where the risk is and the training to close the gap. Your people are your first line of defense.

Want to see how your team would do? Let's set up a simulation.

You did not start your business to be the IT department.

Resetting the password nobody can remember. Figuring out why the printer dropped off the network again. Wondering if that email was real or a scam. Every one of those is twenty minutes you are not spending on the work that actually pays.

That is the quiet cost of not having IT support. Not a big disaster, just a slow leak of your time and focus, week after week.

You do not need a full time IT person to fix that. You need someone who handles it in the background so you can go back to running your business. We are that someone, and we are right here in Lawrence.

Most offices set up a backup once, see it say "success," and never look again. Then the day they actually need it, half the files are missing or the restore takes three days. A backup you have never restored from is a hope, not a plan.

Two things to check this week. First, is more than one copy of your data stored somewhere off site, not just on the same server or the same building. Second, has anyone actually restored a file from it in the last 90 days to prove it works.

If you are not sure, that is exactly the kind of thing we check for our clients so nobody has to think about it.
