Lets talk!

Meet Kendal, our intern of the month! 🐾

This petite sweetheart has officially landed her forever job. She came to us from Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, polite on a leash, sitting like a pro for treats, and she quickly became a staff favorite. The kennel stressed her out a bit, but once she was out and about, she was lovely. Now she gets to trade shelter life for a home of her very own. 🎉

Her new “job” may be filled, but plenty of other pets at Lollypop are still looking for theirs. Ready to find your next BFF? Come meet them! 💛

Do your IT costs sky rocket month to month? Do you worry that your current setup isn't where it needs to be? Or maybe you have a provider was easy to reach before you signed and hard to get a hold of after...🤔

If any of that sounds familiar, our CEO and founder, Chris Sirianni, has some thoughts. His new piece in the RBJ looks at what you get when IT support is proactive instead of reactive: predictable pricing you can plan around, less downtime, and protection built around your business's biggest risks.

Hiring an MSP is only half the decision. Who you hire is the other half, and the gap between providers is easy to miss until it costs you.

Give it a read and see how your IT support measures up! https://hubs.ly/Q04znnvK0

Antivirus alone isn't cutting it anymore. 🛡️

Attackers walk in with stolen credentials and legit software, and nothing trips the alarm. The businesses that stay ahead are layering real-time monitoring, 24/7 human eyes, and a solid plan for when things go sideways.

The bonus? Stronger protection can also mean better cyber insurance conversations. Yes please!

It's October 1st, which means Cybersecurity Awareness Month is officially here!

Follow along for security tips, everyday fixes, insights and more! Share this with someone who could use a nudge (you know who you are 😉).

🐾 Meet Quinny, our September Pet of the Month! 🐾

Quinny is Dent’s 1-year-old Cavapoo and tiny ball of sunshine! Friendly, energetic, and always ready to play, she’s never met a stranger, or a belly rub she didn’t love.

The moment someone walks through the door, Quinny is there to say hello. Once the greetings are out of the way, she can usually be found playfully gnawing on her big brother Pennsy’s ears and legs, thankfully he’s a saint. She also has a talent for flopping upside down for no reason at all and firmly believes that whatever toy another dog has is automatically the best one.

She may be sweet, but Quinny has a few serious opinions: she wants nothing to do with that suspicious dog in the mirror, and she’s quick to step in if another pup gets a little too close while the family is eating.

Congrats, Quinny! We've got a real star on our hands!🏆🐶

"We have a VPN" is not the same as "remote access is secure."

One login shouldn't open the whole network, but for a lot of businesses, that's exactly how it works. In our latest blog, we break down where traditional VPN setups fall short, what Zero Trust means in practice, and the warning signs it's time for a review.

Worth 5 minutes if you haven't looked at your remote access setup lately.
