If hackers went trick or treating, they might dress up as a:

📞Tech Support Scammer – They'd show up at your digital door with a headset, clipboard, and an offer to "fix your computer remotely"—for a price, of course!

💀Ransomware Skeleton – Nothing says spooky like a skeleton costume paired with a USB stick labeled “IMPORTANT FILES,” but opening it locks your whole system!

🎣Phishing Email – Picture a hacker wrapped up in an email costume that says "Urgent: Verify Your Account!" in bold red letters, with an attachment that you don’t want to click.

This October, keep the real monsters OUT of your business!

Cybersecurity Awareness Tip

👻 Beware what you share with generative AI tools—it might come back to haunt you! 🎃

Avoid entering sensitive data—whether it's confidential business information, financial records, or intellectual property—into genAI tools.

It's also important to understand how different AI models and vendors handle the data and comply with industry standards.

Anyone who has made a major purchase in their life knows the emotional rollercoaster of excitement and stress. Buying a new car is both exciting and thrilling, with anticipation of traveling in that new car smell with all the latest gadgets. At the same time, it is an exhausting and anxiety-filled journey when considering all the brands, all the features, and the countless trim levels.

Then, there is the added financial burden and dreaded ‘dealing with the sales guy’ process. It’s rare to hear of anyone completing a car-buying experience without some level of trauma. And this is for a product people know and understand.

Now imagine being a business owner, manager, or similar tasked with finding and hiring IT support for your company. For many, the experience is like standing in a fire ant bed. No one wants to be responsible for finding, vetting, and hiring a third-party company to provide IT support. I do not envy any non-technical business person tasked with the duty.

What Makes a Managed Service Provider Different From the Others?

🌟How is Fluid IT Services different?
🌟What makes you different?
🌟Why should I choose you over the others?
🌟Why do you cost more than the others?
🌟How do I know you’ll do what you say?

I have heard these questions for years, and each year, they become more difficult to answer in easily understandable terms in short order without requiring hours of discussion.

It is also critically important to companies seeking IT services because they are preparing to spend thousands of dollars monthly on ‘a promise’.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!
Kick back, relax, and enjoy your day off!

Cybersecurity is personal.

The closer you are to an event (robbery, data breach), the more personal it becomes and the more likely you are to act and approach it proactively. Conversely, if you have never been exposed to an event, you will be less likely to take action and will likely be ‘reactive’ in your approach.

We're here to help you connect the dots between IT support and cybersecurity.

In this concise 30-minute webcast, Wade Yeaman, CEO of FluidIT, will be your guide to connecting the dots between IT support and cybersecurity operations so that you can assess your position and confidently decide what your business needs now and in the future.
