88% of small and midsize business breaches involve ransomware. For large enterprises, that number is 39%.

The gap isn't because attackers prefer smaller targets. It's because ransomware is often the path of least resistance, and SMBs frequently have fewer layered defenses to slow an attacker down once they're in. Enterprises get hit with a wider variety of attack types. SMBs get hit, disproportionately, with the one that's hardest to walk back from.

This is worth internalizing for any leadership team still operating on a "we're not big enough to be a target" assumption. Size doesn't reduce the odds. It changes which type of attack is most likely to succeed.

A great afternoon at Community Development Long Island's (CDLI) 2026 Annual Luncheon.

This year’s “Be the Difference” theme brought out everyone’s inner superhero!

It was an opportunity to connect with clients and recognize CDLI’s important work in expanding access to housing and resources for local residents. Thank you to CDLI for bringing everyone together.

Major software updates tend to generate a lot of attention, but they're also a good reminder of something bigger: technology maintenance is an ongoing process, not a one-time project.

Whether it's Microsoft, Apple, Google, or another technology provider, regular updates often include security improvements, performance enhancements, and fixes that help protect organizations from newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Having a structured patch management process helps organizations respond more efficiently without turning every update into an emergency. Knowing which systems are most critical, who owns them, and how updates are deployed can make all the difference when a high-priority security issue emerges.

Preparation begins long before the next update is released.

This past Saturday, the Solarus team joined the Mental Health Association of Nassau County for its annual Gone But Not Forgotten Walk.

The day brought people together to recognize the impact of overdose and reinforce the importance of awareness, prevention and support.

We were grateful to take part and stand alongside so many others for an important cause.

A few shifts worth planning around as budgets get set for 2027:

Agentic AI moves from pilot to production pressure. Nearly every enterprise has piloted AI agents; the pressure in 2027 will be on actually operationalizing them, not just experimenting further. Expect governance and integration, not raw capability, to be the deciding factor in which projects survive.

Security becomes a line item in every tech purchase, not a follow-up question. As AI tools gain more autonomy to take action, not just generate content, buyers are already treating security and governance as a top evaluation criterion rather than an afterthought.

Compliance timelines keep compressing. California's shift to a 30-day breach notification deadline is likely a preview, not an outlier. Expect more states to tighten timelines rather than loosen them.

None of these are guaranteed, but all three are already visible in this year's data.

A question we hear often: "We already have an IT person. Why would we need a managed provider too?"

Fair question. Here's the honest answer: one person, no matter how skilled, can't realistically cover round-the-clock monitoring, deep security expertise, and strategic planning at the same time as day-to-day help desk requests. Something usually gives, and it's often the proactive work, since the urgent tickets always come first.

A co-managed setup isn't about replacing that person. It's about giving them backup: after-hours coverage when they're not available, specialized security response when an incident is bigger than one person can handle alone, and a second set of eyes on the strategic decisions that shape your tech budget for the next few years.

It's less "your IT person isn't good enough" and more "no single person should be your entire IT department's safety net."

US and South Korean cybersecurity agencies issued a joint advisory in August about Gunra ransomware, actively targeting healthcare, government, professional services, and other sectors by exploiting known software vulnerabilities alongside phishing.

New reporting shows AI-generated phishing emails are now getting clicked at roughly 54% compared to about 12% for traditional phishing attempts, a gap that keeps widening as generative tools improve.

And PCI DSS 4.0.1 audits are now running under the full standard for the first time this year, with businesses that delayed implementation starting to feel real audit friction.

Different threats, same underlying theme: the tools available to attackers are evolving faster than a lot of organizations are updating their defenses.

What's on your radar from this list?

As of January 1, 2026, California businesses have a hard 30-calendar-day deadline to notify affected residents after discovering a data breach. A report to the Attorney General is due 15 days after that.

This isn't just a California problem. If your business has customers, donors, employees, or contacts who are California residents, and most businesses of any size do, this timeline applies to you regardless of where your company is headquartered.

Businesses that can demonstrate "reasonable safeguards" tailored to their size and the sensitivity of the data they hold have some legal protection if a breach happens anyway. Businesses that can't are looking at penalties up to $150,000 per breach, on top of the reputational cost.

Thirty days sounds like a lot of time until you're the one trying to identify affected individuals, draft notices, and coordinate a response inside that window for the first time.
