Business email compromise in construction usually looks like ordinary paperwork: a subcontractor’s invoice with new bank details, a supplier asking to reroute a payment, or an owner’s rep confirming where to send the next draw. The FBI calls business email compromise (BEC) “one of the most financially damaging online crimes,” and its 2025 Internet Crime […]
After more than ten years with Eclipse Networks, Michael Smallwood has officially retired. We couldn’t let him leave without a proper send-off, so the team gave him a gift built for how he spends his weekends: a remote control model airplane. We never expected what happened next! A Gift Built for the Weekend Anyone who […]
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and CISA and the National Cybersecurity Alliance are again organizing it around four everyday habits that keep people and businesses safer online: use strong passwords, turn on multi-factor authentication, recognize and report phishing, and update software. For most companies, two of those habits carry the most weight. Multi-factor authentication for […]
Most small business owners assume data breach laws are a big-company problem. They apply to hospital systems and national retailers, not a 20-person firm in Marietta. That assumption is wrong, and it can be expensive. Georgia’s data breach notification law applies to businesses of every size, and if you hold customers’ personal information, you’re on […]
The Atlanta data center boom has turned the region into the second-largest such market in the country, with installed capacity jumping from about 0.92 gigawatts in 2025 to an estimated 1.82 gigawatts in 2026. Almost all of it is driven by demand for artificial intelligence. For most Atlanta business owners, this sounds like distant infrastructure […]
Ambient AI scribes have swept through medical practices faster than almost any technology in recent memory. They listen to the visit, draft the note, and hand physicians back hours of their day. Patient-facing chatbots are close behind, handling scheduling and questions around the clock. The productivity case is obvious. The compliance case is where practices […]
Construction is having its AI moment. Procore is building artificial intelligence directly into the platform many contractors already run, and in 2026 it acquired the drone-and-reality-capture company DroneDeploy for roughly $845 million to feed its AI real jobsite data — the goal being software that “sees, understands, and acts” on what’s happening in the field. […]
Legal AI is now a competitive advantage for law firms. Harvey is now used by more than 100,000 lawyers across 1,300-plus organizations. CoCounsel, Thomson Reuters’ assistant, is wired directly into Westlaw and Practical Law. Platforms like Litify, Clio, and RingCentral are layering AI into the systems firms already run every day. But here’s what the […]
If you’re a defense contractor or a supplier in the defense supply chain, you’ve probably heard the news and felt a wave of relief: on July 13, 2026, the Department of Defense suspended CMMC Phase 2, the milestone that would have required third-party certification of your cybersecurity by November 10, 2026. The CMMC Phase 2 […]
It’s back-to-school time! When the kids are back on laptops and tablets every night — often on the same Wi-Fi and sometimes the same devices you use for work — the line between “home network” and “business network” disappears. And attackers know it. Back-to-school cybersecurity isn’t a topic for the school district’s IT department. For […]
