That "urgent" text from the boss asking for gift cards? It's a scam — always. And thanks to AI, these schemes are getting harder to catch: fluent phishing emails, cloned voices, even fake video calls.

The good news: a few simple, low-tech habits stop them cold, even when the fake is convincing. Here's what every small business should put in place 👇

AI-powered attacks can fake the email, the voice, even the video. Here's how deepfakes target small businesses—and the simple controls that back up your team.Suggested slug: ai-powered-attacks-small-businessPrimary keyphrase: AI-powered attacks small business

Everyone is talking about adding AI.

But most businesses don't have an AI problem. They have a workflow problem.

When AI is layered onto a process that's already confusing, inefficient, or frustrating, it usually just makes those issues happen faster.

The real value comes when AI is used to remove friction, simplify work, and help people get things done more effectively.

Technology should improve the experience—not create more complexity.

Mike Harvey shares a practical perspective on where AI actually delivers value (and where it doesn't).

"It still works, so we're fine for now."

That's the most expensive sentence in IT right now.

If your business is still running Windows 10, here's the part most people missed: support technically "ended" last October, but the deadline that actually bites is October 2026. That's when Extended Security Updates run out — and once they do, every new Windows 10 vulnerability just stays open. Permanently. No patch coming.

A machine that's quietly missing security patches looks exactly like one that's fully protected. Right up until the morning it doesn't.

The good news? Right now this is a planning problem. A few months from now, it's an emergency. The difference is entirely up to you.

We broke down what's actually going on, the second deadline nobody's watching (hello, Windows Server 2016), and the 5-step plan to get ahead of it without a panic buy in the fall. 👇

Ever had an AI tool confidently tell you a task was done… and then realize it had no idea? 😅

We've been putting Claude Code through its paces on data migrations, and the results are honest: it's a great thinking partner, but it has no memory. None. Every session starts fresh.

For SMBs doing migrations or multi-step processes, that matters. A lot.

Our CEO Mike Harvey breaks down what actually happens when you rely on AI for long-running work — and what you need to do differently to make it work.

➡️ Read the full article and let us know if this matches your experience.

There’s a gap between what AI promises and how it actually performs in the real world. One area where that gap becomes very obvious is in long-running, stateful work—things like data migrations, multi-step refactors, or anything that doesn’t happen in a single clean ex*****on

Most cyberattacks don't start with a sophisticated hack.

They start with a fake invoice. A bad link. Someone clicking something they shouldn't.

That's a human problem. And technology alone won't fix it.

A staggering statistic from the World Economic Forum: global cybercrime costs are projected to approach $12 trillion in 2026.

Small and mid-sized businesses continue to make up a major share of those attacks.

In this new article, Mike Harvey shares his perspective on:
• Why SMBs remain a primary target
• Why human behavior is still the biggest cybersecurity vulnerability
• How cybersecurity training is becoming more accessible, automated, and practical for smaller organizations
• What businesses can do now to reduce risk before becoming a statistic

The biggest cybersecurity risk often isn’t the technology. It’s assuming it won’t happen to you.

“A picture’s worth 1,000 assumptions.”

And assumptions are how problems get solved the wrong way.

What you see on the surface is rarely the issue. It’s a snapshot, not the system. Without context, it’s easy to jump to conclusions and chase the wrong fix.

That’s why we ask detailed questions and take the time to go deeper, not to slow things down, but to make sure we fully understand the problem before jumping to a solution.

Making technology easy isn’t about guessing faster. It’s about getting it right, removing the friction, and delivering outcomes our customers can rely on.
