Hot take: your IT guy is not your security guy.

IT keeps the lights on — patches, passwords, printers, M365 licenses. Reactive by design. Their job starts when something breaks.

Security does the opposite job. They assume something is already wrong and go find it. Threat hunts. Attack simulations. Access reviews every quarter. Incident plans written before the incident.

Every 2026 breach has the same shape. The IT guy did their job. The firm got breached anyway — because nobody's job was to assume the IT guy missed something.

If you don't have both, you don't have security. You have IT. Different things.

CISA just added three actively exploited bugs to its KEV catalog. All three were supply-chain compromises.

DAEMON Tools Lite — trojanized installers, valid signatures. Your antivirus didn't blink.

TanStack — compromised npm maintainer pushed bad versions. Millions of downloads a week.

Nx Console — malicious extension sat live in the VS Marketplace for 36 minutes on May 19. Plenty long.

What to do this week:

1. Inventory every piece of software on every laptop — version numbers, last 90 days.

2. Check your endpoints manually. Valid signatures fooled the AV.

3. Lock down installs. Require admin approval. Federal deadline is June 10.

Myth: "We're too small to be a target."

Bust: 96% of ransomware victims in 2026 are small and mid-size businesses. The 4% you read about in the news are the big ones. The other 96% are law firms, dental offices, accounting practices, and contractors.

Why attackers love you: same data the big targets hold, a fraction of the defenses, and you pay faster because every day offline is existential.

Ocean City Radio in NJ shut down permanently on May 12 because of a cyberattack. The recovery costs killed the business. That's the story nobody covers.

"Too small to target" died years ago. Stop saying it.

Your inbox has 1,400 unread emails. You spend the first hour of every day deleting newsletters and answering the same five client questions. Stop.

The fix: AI email triage. Tools like Superhuman AI, Microsoft Copilot for Outlook, or Shortwave plug right into Gmail or Outlook. No IT project.

Train it on three folders — urgent client, vendor, junk. The AI learns your patterns in an afternoon. After that, it pre-sorts and pre-drafts replies for one-click sending.

A NJ law firm we work with cut partner email time from 90 minutes to 25 minutes a day. 9 hours a week back per partner.

This is the AI use case most owners miss. Not chatbots — just automating the most boring 25% of your day.

Your weekly cyber + AI briefing. This week's pattern: the supply chain IS the front door.

CISA added three actively exploited bugs to its KEV list last Tuesday. All three were supply-chain compromises — DAEMON Tools, TanStack, and Nx Console. Trojanized installers with legitimate signatures. Tainted npm packages. A poisoned marketplace extension that sat live for 36 minutes.

You don't get breached at the front door anymore. You get breached through software you already trusted.

Also: GreyNoise saw a 46× spike in scanning against SonicWall firewalls. If you run one, today is patch day.

Hot take: if you can't name the top five vendors with access to your data, you don't have a security program. You have a hope.

Every big breach in 2026 has the same shape. NYC Health + Hospitals. DocketWise. LexisNexis. The attackers don't break in. They log in — through a vendor you trusted.

You don't have a firewall problem. You have a vendor problem.

Five questions every business owner should answer:

1. Who has remote access to my systems right now?
2. Which vendors store my client data?
3. What's their breach notification clause?
4. When did we last remove access from a vendor we don't use?
5. If they get breached tomorrow, what's our plan?

If you can't answer those today, that meeting is the meeting.

NYC Health + Hospitals breach: 1.8 million people. Medical records, IDs, bank info, fingerprints.

The attackers were inside for three months before anyone noticed. The way in: a third-party vendor with access to the system.

Three things to do this week:

1. Inventory every vendor with access to your data. Include the dormant accounts.

2. Alert on logins from new geographies and dormant accounts.

3. Yearly vendor access reviews. Pull access in 24 hours when their staff leaves — not 24 months.

You can't outsource the consequences. You're the one who has to tell your clients.

Myth: "Our MSP handles security."

Bust: right now, attackers are exploiting a critical cPanel flaw (CVE-2026-41940) to compromise MSPs themselves. CVSS 9.8. Ransomware deployed. When the MSP gets popped, every client they manage goes with them.

Most "MSPs" are help-desk operations that resell software. Not a 24/7 SOC. Not threat-hunting your network.

Three questions to ask yours:

1. When did you last simulate ransomware against my environment?
2. Who at your firm can touch my data — show me the list.
3. What's your incident response time, in writing?

You don't need to leave your MSP. You need to know what they actually do.

You signed a lease without reading it. A vendor contract auto-renewed because nobody caught the clause.

Fix: drop the contract into Claude, ChatGPT, or Spellbook. One prompt: "Flag every auto-renewal, liability transfer, non-compete, and anything that commits us beyond 12 months. Quote the text, give the page number."

Five minutes instead of two hours.

Works for leases, vendor contracts, NDAs, MSAs, employment agreements, insurance policies. Then send the flagged clauses to your attorney — pay them for judgment, not reading.

One construction firm we work with found three auto-renewal traps. Saved $14,000 in month one.

AI helps you read faster. It doesn't replace your lawyer.

Memorial Day first — thank you to the men and women who served and never came home. We don't forget.

Your weekly cyber + AI briefing. This week's pattern: you get breached through who you trust.

NYC Health + Hospitals: 1.8 million people exposed. Medical records, IDs, bank info, and fingerprints. Root cause was a third-party vendor.

Microsoft confirmed active attacks on on-prem Exchange (CVE-2026-42897). A crafted email is all it takes.

Hackers are also hitting MSPs through a cPanel flaw. One MSP down equals dozens of clients down.

The lesson: your real attack surface includes every vendor with access to your network.
