Cybersecurity isn’t just a service — it’s a strategy.

In this video, our VP of Cybersecurity, Cheryl Hearne, shares how we approach security by looking at the full picture of your business: your people, your processes, your risks, and your goals — not just your tools.

🔒 2026 Cybersecurity Checklist for Business Leaders 🔒

As organizations move into 2026 with goals around growth, efficiency, and innovation, it is equally important to ensure that your cybersecurity foundations are strong.

By now, leadership teams should have visibility into whether these core controls are firmly in place:

✔️ Multi-factor authentication everywhere — not only for administrators, but for all users and critical systems.
✔️ Backups that are regularly tested — not just configured, but verified and recoverable.
✔️ A documented incident response plan — current, maintained, and understood by the appropriate stakeholders.
✔️ Vendor and supply chain risk reviewed — because organizational risk now extends well beyond your own environment.

Cybersecurity is no longer solely an IT concern; it is a core component of business resilience. If any of these areas are incomplete or uncertain, our team is here to help. Connect today: https://hubs.ly/Q03ZSJyH0

Technical debt accumulates when systems, processes, or security measures aren’t updated or maintained. Things like outdated firewalls, unpatched software, or inconsistent procedures may seem minor now, but over time they can slow operations, create security risks, and make scaling your business harder.

Our vCISO service helps you address technical debt strategically by:
✔️ Assessing your current systems and processes
✔️ Prioritizing updates and improvements that reduce risk
✔️ Building a clear roadmap your leadership can follow

Starting 2026 with a clean, secure IT foundation isn’t just possible—it’s smart. Connect today: https://hubs.la/Q03YDWkp0

AI isn’t “set it and forget it” anymore...and your development process can’t be either.

Salesforce’s latest blog breaks down the new reality: AI agents aren’t a one-and-done build anymore, they require constant iteration, testing, and guardrails.

Here are the four essentials every team needs to keep up:

✔️ DevOps Center for governed, reliable releases
✔️ Vibe coding + low-code tools to accelerate iteration
✔️ Secure, production-like sandboxes with data masking & seeding
✔️ AI-ready testing tools built for scale, accuracy, and real-world behavior

If AI is part of your Salesforce footprint, or about to be, this is the kind of read that changes how you plan your next quarter.

Here's how agent and application lifecycle management (ALM) provides a structured way to drive continuous improvement for your AI development.
