You don’t have to be famous to be a target.

Attackers are often targeting the access you can provide: or the person you can reach.

That could mean approving a payment, resetting a password, accessing sensitive information, or communicating with someone who has that authority. For professional-services firms, the most dangerous requests often look completely normal: a vendor invoice, banking-change request, password reset, or urgent message from a colleague.

A few practical habits can help:

• Slow down when a request involves urgency, money, credentials, or sensitive information.
• Verify important requests through a different channel, using a known phone number: not contact information in the message.
• Use strong MFA, such as passkeys, security keys, or an authenticator app instead of SMS alone.
• Look beyond MFA with Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) to identify suspicious identity activity.

Cybersecurity is a business continuity issue: not just an IT issue.

Just because you’re out of the office doesn’t mean your firm’s data is on vacation.

Summer is here, and for many professionals, that means working from airports, hotels, or cafes. While the scenery is welcome, the digital landscape is increasingly dangerous. AI-driven travel phishing scams have surged this year: fake booking confirmations and airline alerts now look indistinguishable from the real thing.

Cybersecurity is a pillar of business continuity while on the move. To protect your firm’s integrity this summer, couple of rules that help, along with a comprehensive cybersecurity defense.

1. MFA on Everything: Multi-factor authentication is your strongest defense.
2. No Password Reuse: Use a password manager so one breach doesn’t open every door.

Prevention beats detection, especially when you’re miles from your desk.

So, you finally hit 'buy' on those AI licenses. Now what?

It’s a common story we’re hearing lately. Firms sign the contract, roll out the logins, and then... crickets.

Buying AI tools is the easy part. The real challenge: and where the value actually lives: is in the strategy behind it. Without a clear plan for adoption and governance, even the best technology becomes just another monthly expense.

Tim Weidman recently shared some thoughts on how to move past the initial purchase and start seeing real results. It’s not just about the tech; it’s about how that tech fits into your firm’s goals.

Has your firm started experimenting with AI yet? Are you finding it easy to get everyone on board, or are you still figuring out the first steps? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

"Under the radar" is a dangerous place to hide.

Many small and mid-sized professional services firms assume they aren't big enough to be a primary target for cyberattacks. In 2026, the reality is exactly the opposite. You aren't just a business; you are a gateway.

Cybercriminals prioritize firms like yours because you hold high-value client data: financials, intellectual property, and sensitive personal information: but often lack the enterprise-grade security of larger organizations. By compromising your network, they gain a direct path to the bigger prizes.

If you haven’t evaluated your firm’s risk profile recently, you are operating on a gamble.

Don’t wait for a breach to discover your vulnerabilities. Reach out to us today for a comprehensive technology risk assessment and ensure your firm stays a partner, not a gateway.

Prevention beats detection, but what happens when your strongest lock can be picked?

Most organizations believe turning on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) means the "security" box is checked. While MFA is foundational, it is no longer the silver bullet it once was. Hackers have evolved, finding sophisticated ways to walk right through the front door.

From "MFA fatigue" attacks to session hijacking and adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing, the risk landscape has shifted. If your team relies on SMS codes or simple push notifications without understanding these vulnerabilities, your firm remains exposed.

Choosing the right strategy is about staying ahead of threat evolution. Tim Weidman’s latest article breaks down exactly how these bypasses work and how your firm can stay protected. It’s a five-minute read that could save your organization from a major disruption.

Our community is built on the ambition and grit of local businesses.

This coming Saturday, June 27th, is Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) Day. At Frankel Technology Services, we have the privilege of working alongside some of the most dedicated professional services firms in our region.

From CPA firms navigating tax deadlines to engineering teams designing our local infrastructure, small and mid-sized businesses are the true backbone of our economy. You create jobs, drive innovation, and bring a personal touch that larger corporations simply can’t match.

We’re proud to provide the technical foundation: the cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and day-to-day support: that allows these firms to focus on what they do best. Your success is our success, and we’re honored to be your trusted partner in growth and security.

Take a moment this week to support a local business or give a shout-out to a firm that makes a difference in your life.

Prevention beats detection, but what happens when the threat looks exactly like a standard HR email?

Your employees just received an email regarding the updated Code of Conduct. It looks official. It uses your firm's name. It even mentions a disciplinary review for those who do not sign it.

This isn’t a technical glitch; it’s a highly targeted social engineering trap.

Attackers are moving away from poorly spelled emails and toward adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks. By mirroring legitimate business language, they trick even the most vigilant employees into giving up their session tokens: effectively bypassing MFA.

If you can’t trust the email infrastructure, you need to trust your strategy.

We see this progression daily. Cybersecurity isn’t just about tools; it’s about building a culture of proactive readiness and understanding how modern threats evolve to mimic business as usual.

Dive deeper into how this specific trap works and what practical steps your firm can take to secure its environment:

Cybersecurity is no longer just a business issue. It’s personal.

Every day, we use digital tools to access email, bank accounts, and health information. This means your personal accounts are now part of the security perimeter: and attackers know it.

The new reality is simple: all access has value. AI and sophisticated spoofing make scams feel incredibly real. This is why slowing down is your most powerful tool.

The habit you need to build: Trust nothing. Verify everything.

If a request involves money, credentials, or urgency, verify it through a trusted channel. Do not click the link in the email. Do not trust caller ID. Go directly to the official source.

At Frankel Technology Services, we help organizations protect both the business and the people behind it.
