Twenty-five years later, the memory of September 11 remains a powerful reminder of both profound loss and remarkable strength.

Today, we honor those who lost their lives, support those who continue to carry the weight of that day, and express our deepest gratitude to the first responders, service members, and countless heroes whose courage helped guide our nation through tragedy.

May we continue to lead with kindness, serve our communities, and never forget the enduring spirit that emerged in the face of adversity.

Cancer picked the wrong race.

On September 26, Team AIS is putting the pedal down at the 6th Annual Karting for Cancer — racing at Autobahn Country Club for something much bigger than a trophy.

🏁 15 teams
🏎️ Speeds up to 55 MPH
⏱️ Two hours of racing
🎯 One goal: accelerate the fight against cancer.

Every dollar raised helps fund basic science cancer research through The H Foundation and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University.

And there are two ways to win: be the fastest team on the track and be the team that raises the most for cancer research.

We plan to compete for both.

Help us put Team AIS on the pole position for a cure.

Cancer is personal. So is this race.

Join us as we race to find a cure for cancer. The H Foundation is hosting a fast-paced go-kart racing challenge at the newly renovated karting course at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet.

Microsoft has announced that its built-in SMS and voice authentication services will be retired on February 1, 2027. Organizations currently using these methods for multi-factor authentication (MFA) will need to transition to more secure options such as Microsoft Authenticator or passkeys.
While the deadline is still ahead, proactive planning today can help avoid user disruption tomorrow.

Our team is reviewing client environments to identify those impacted by this change and will be reaching out to discuss migration options and best practices.

Need help evaluating your MFA strategy? 𝗔𝗜𝗦 is here to help.

💻 Cyber Security Tip: Don't Ignore Software Updates

That update notification may seem inconvenient, but it's often protecting you from newly discovered security vulnerabilities.

Cybercriminals frequently target outdated software because known vulnerabilities are easier to exploit.

This month, take a few minutes to:
🔄 Install operating system updates.
🛡️ Update web browsers and business applications.
🔌 Remove software you no longer use.

Staying up to date is one of the easiest ways to reduce your cybersecurity risk.

Need help keeping devices patched and secure? Our team can help automate updates and strengthen your cybersecurity posture. Reach out to learn more.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially the ones who know how to fix the Wi-Fi, restart the router, and still insist, “Back in my day, we didn’t need passwords for everything.”

At 𝗔𝗜𝗦, we appreciate dads because they are basically the original IT support:
-“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
-“Don’t click that.”
-“I told you to save your work.”

Today we celebrate the guys who keep everything running at home and at work, even if their troubleshooting style still includes a little trial and error along the way.

Enjoy your day, dads. May your coffee be strong, your internet be fast, and your family not need tech support, at least for one day.
