Whether they leave on good terms or bad terms, clean up those old accounts!
One of the most overlooked cybersecurity threats comes from ex-employees logging into their old accounts and stealing data from past employers.

You never know when a vengeful ex-employee may log in, delete files, leak sensitive information, or just sabotage your business in general.

Check today to see what old accounts are still lying around!

Construction folks, what if we told you one of your biggest cybersecurity threats is actually... your vendors. Yep, your vendors... here's why.

When you let a vendor connect to your network or systems, you're carrying their cybersecurity risks with you.

The subcontractor who has a login to your project management system.

The supplier who emails invoices back and forth with your office every week.

If they're not taking care of their cybersecurity, their risks become yours very quickly.

It happens more than most owners realize:

- A sub's email gets compromised, then sends a fake invoice from an address you already trust

- A vendor's laptop gets infected, then it connects to your shared project files

- An old login from a finished job never gets shut off, and nobody notices until it's leaked and used by bad actors

None of this means you need to fire your subs and contractors, but it does mean to choose them carefully, vet their cybersecurity and ensure their logins are removed once the job is done.

That starts with knowing who has access to your systems, watching for anything that looks off, and closing the door once a job wraps.

Has your company ever looked closely at how much access your subs and vendors actually have? What would you find if you checked today?

Rhode Island construction folks, your competition is outbidding you.
They're not doing it by hand, they're using AI. And it's working...

We broke down how it's done in our latest blog, give it a read!

It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month. That usually means talk about phishing and passwords. This year, there's a newer risk hiding in plain sight... your AI usage.

Your team is probably using AI tools as you read this. question is, how?

What tools are they using?

What about the data they're putting in?

Do you know where it's going?

The AI tool isn't the risk, it's the lack of guardrails around how it gets used.

Without a proper policy, you could be leaking data and getting inaccurate data in return.

A simple policy takes less time to write than most people think. It just needs to exist before a mistake happens, not after one.

Where does your team stand on this? Do you have any guardrails around AI use right now, or is it still the wild west?

We help New England businesses develop AI plans that produce real value, without the risks and headaches of figuring it out alone.

We had a great time at PBN's Cybersecurity and AI summit yesterday!
Helping local businesses adopt AI with a proper plan has been a big focus of Attain Technology over the past year.

From establishing proper rules to laying out which workflows to have AI assist in, there's a lot to think about before your business dives into it's AI journey.

And it's between those points where the confusion usually starts for teams.

Questions like:

- Who owns the process?
- What tasks do we start with?
- How do we make sure AI is producing value?
- What numbers are we tracking?

All those should be in place before AI goes live.

Because without a proper plan, there's a good chance your AI efforts could be for nothing.

We make sure that doesn't happen.

Where can AI empower your team to do great work?

If you had a way to prevent 99% of automated attacks on your accounts with one click, would you do it? Well, that's what multi-factor authentication does for you.

If you haven't set it up yet, let this post be a reminder.

Trust us, clicking a button to confirm it's you is far easier than negotiating your files and data back from a hacker.

Years of work, emails, files, and notes hold answers your team keeps re-asking each other for... and getting the answers you need is easier than you think.

Think about how many times someone on your team asks "Didn't we already deal with this?"

The answer is usually sitting somewhere in your files.

An old email, a project file, a note, a shared drive, but finding it is a different story.

So many times, you start all over again from scratch, wasting valuable time with something you already did years ago.

This is a practical AI use case that many SMBs overlook. AI tools can search across your existing files, emails, notes, whatever it may be and pull the answers you're looking for.

No need to start all over again.

A few places this tends to work well:

- Past project notes and lessons learned
- Vendor or client email threads
- Internal SOPs and how-to guides
- Old proposals or estimates

One thing to watch. This only works if your files are organized enough to search and your data stays protected in the process. That part takes some setup.

It's not always plug and play day one.

So instead of re-inventing the wheel, get more out of the information you already have.

Where does your team waste the most time searching for answers that already exist?
