A new Comcast report found 25.4 billion phishing events in one year. Yes, billion. That’s more than 800 phishing events every second. And AI is putting pressure on every step of the attack chain.

It also found a staggering 79.3 billion cybersecurity events detected across just its cybersecurity customers.

For SMBs, that means familiar threats like phishing are becoming faster, more convincing, and potentially harder for employees to recognize.

The answer isn’t one security tool. Email security, employee training, multifactor authentication, monitoring, backups, and strong IT processes all play a role.

Cybersecurity isn’t a product you install. It’s a strategy you manage. If you need help adapting your IT and security to today’s AI threats, contact us for a free on-site assessment in the Greater Indianapolis area: https://toucan.tech/assessment-contact/

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so it's a great time to review your overall IT strategy.

Does your MSP have a comprehensive plan to protect your organization, or are they mostly waiting for help desk tickets?

Cybersecurity isn’t just antivirus software and a firewall. Managed IT shouldn’t begin and end with fixing problems after they happen.

If you’re paying an MSP every month, you should know exactly what they’re managing—and what could suddenly become an “extra” when you need it.

Read our latest 2-minute microblog for advice: https://toucan.tech/is-your-msp-full-service-or-a-help-desk-ticket-company/

Your IT services company should do more than just close help desk tickets. If you have them on retainer, they should solve any IT issue.

Toucan’s Tech Tip of the Week: Stop scrolling through long webpages looking for one piece of information. Press Ctrl + F on Windows or Command + F on Mac to quickly search the webpage you’re viewing.

Just type a name, keyword, product, or phrase, and your browser will highlight every place it appears on the page.

It’s a simple shortcut that can save valuable time when you’re reviewing industry articles, researching vendors, comparing services, or just trying to find that one detail you need.

Less scrolling. Faster answers. More time to focus on business.

Read 5 practical ways Greater Indianapolis SMBs should adapt their cybersecurity for AI.

AI is making it easier to get more done. Unfortunately, it’s also making cyberattacks faster, more convincing, and harder to spot.

And the risk isn’t just coming from attackers.

The AI tools employees use, the information they share with them, and the growing number of apps connected to your business can create new security gaps, too.

So what actually needs to change?

Probably less than you think—but there are some important areas SMB leaders should be paying attention to right now.

Our latest blog breaks down five practical ways to strengthen your cybersecurity for the AI era without turning it into 40 new IT projects.

🐐 We interrupt your regularly scheduled IT and cybersecurity content for… GOATS.

Recently, we visited The Goat Conspiracy Sanctuary in Bloomington, Indiana, and it’s safe to say we absolutely loved it.

Especially Heather Callard, our VP. Heather loves goats. ❤️🐐

So much so that the Toucan Technology Group family now has a new friend: Corina, a goat we’re proud to sponsor!

The Goat Conspiracy Sanctuary provides a welcoming place where people can connect with some pretty wonderful animals—and if you’re looking for something fun and different to do in Indiana, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Sometimes it’s good to unplug from technology and spend a little time with goats. (Although we can’t confirm whether Corina has strong opinions about cybersecurity. Yet.)

Meet Corina and learn more about The Goat Conspiracy Sanctuary here: https://www.thegoatconspiracy.com/sponsor-a-goat/p/corina-54ay2-p8szn

Corina is a LaMancha goat and lives in the sanctuary’s Red Barn with the other large goats. She is incredibly friendly and never fails to lumber up to the fence when humans show up to enjoy some scratches, often requesting them on her rear end.

Your employees can work from anywhere. Unfortunately, so can cybercriminals.

Remote work is convenient—but it can also create security gaps that are easy for SMBs to overlook.

Think about it: employees may be connecting from home Wi-Fi, accessing company data on personal devices, reusing passwords, or working without the same protections they have in the office.

The problem isn’t your remote employees. It’s making sure your security follows them wherever they work.

A few smart safeguards can help protect your people, your data, and your business—without making remote work a headache.

👉 Read our new microblog to learn about common remote-work risks and what you can do to reduce them: https://toucan.tech/are-your-remote-workers-putting-your-business-at-risk/?latest

If you own a small business, there’s a good chance you’re also the unofficial IT department.

Slow Wi-Fi? You hear about it.
Software not working together? Your problem.
Another license or subscription to manage? Add it to the list.
Cybersecurity and backups? You’re supposed to stay on top of those, too.

And that’s the real technology challenge for many SMBs: it’s not just one big IT problem. It’s dozens of little issues competing for your time and attention.

You may even be paying for overlapping software, relying on outdated hardware, or using legacy systems that create security risks without realizing it.

Technology should support your business—not become another job you have to manage.

In our latest microblog, Technology Challenges SMBs Face, we look at some of the most common IT challenges we see and practical ways businesses can address them.

86% of SMB IT and security professionals surveyed said their organization experienced at least one cyber incident in the past year.

But the bigger issue isn’t the statistic—it’s what happens to the business when an incident occurs.

Can your employees keep working?
Can you access critical systems and data?
Can you serve customers?
How quickly can you recover?

Cybersecurity isn’t just about preventing a breach. It’s about keeping your business running.

For SMBs, that means combining cybersecurity with strong IT practices, reliable backups, recovery planning, monitoring, and people who know what to do when something goes wrong.

You may not be able to eliminate every cyber risk, but you can make your business much harder to disrupt.
