We've seen major Microsoft-related outages disrupt businesses, hospitals, and airlines.
And now, on Friday the 13th, a nationwide FAA ground stop following a telecommunications outage is reminding us just how dependent we are on technology.
When critical systems fail, the impact goes far beyond a computer screen.
Flights stop. Employees can't work. Customers are left waiting. Businesses lose money.
These incidents aren't necessarily cyberattacks, and they certainly aren't caused by bad luck.
But they expose something every business owner should think about:
What happens to your business when the technology you depend on suddenly stops working?
Do you have a business continuity plan? Backup systems? A tested recovery process? Someone accountable for getting you operational again?

Friday the 13th might be unlucky. Your IT strategy shouldn't depend on luck.
Happy Friday the 13th! 👻

Business owners: Do you actually own and control your company's technology accounts?
Your domain name, Microsoft 365 tenant, cloud subscriptions, administrator credentials, and backups.
If your IT provider disappeared tomorrow, could you access everything needed to keep your business running?
It's a question many businesses don't ask until they're trying to change providers or recover from a major problem.
Your IT partner should manage your technology, not hold your business hostage.
Make sure your company retains ownership and appropriate administrative control of its critical systems.

Teams may try a new AI tool because they’re looking for a faster way to get work done. Share what task you need help with and ask IT or security to review the tool before using it for business. That makes it easier to match useful tools to the right security and data rules.

Share AI needs early and ask before adopting a new tool.

A prompt can contain more than a question. It might include credentials, customer details, employee information, or internal files. Don’t enter sensitive information into tools that haven’t been approved for work. Follow your organization’s data-handling rules, and ask if you’re unsure.

Check before you paste.

The election is behind us. Our community is still here. ❤️
Some people are celebrating today. Others may be disappointed. And some are simply ready to move forward.
Whatever your perspective, let's remember that we have more in common than we sometimes realize.
We're neighbors, colleagues, business owners, friends, and families who share the same communities.
We can disagree without being unkind. We can listen without having to agree. And we can treat each other with respect, even when we see the world differently.
At NVITS, we're grateful to be part of the Northern Nevada community and to work alongside people from all walks of life.
A little kindness and understanding can go a long way.
