Real Talk Tech
Short takes on IT, cybersecurity, and running a small business. Written for people who have better things to think about than their computers.
Your business is probably less secure than you think
Most small businesses don't have a breach because they're safe. They haven't been targeted yet. Those are different things.
What "managed IT" actually means (and what it doesn't)
The term gets used by everyone from solo freelancers to enterprise firms. Here's what to actually expect, and what's a red flag.
Why your IT guy dreads "while you're here..."
It's not laziness. The small stuff you save up is almost never actually small.
The backup conversation nobody wants until it's too late
Every business owner who lost everything had "a backup." Just not one that worked when it counted.
More on the way. Topics I'm working through: Microsoft 365 security defaults, what to do when an employee leaves, and why your router from Best Buy is not a firewall.
