86% of phishing attacks are now AI-driven, according to a new KnowBe4 report.

And phishing emails are no longer the only problem.

The report found major increases in:
➡️ Fake calendar invite attacks
➡️ Microsoft Teams phishing
➡️ AI-generated social engineering
➡️ Credential theft targeting Microsoft 365 users

Cybercriminals are now attacking businesses across multiple channels at once — email, chat, collaboration apps, and calendars — often using AI to make scams look legitimate and highly personalized.

Today’s phishing attacks are faster, smarter, and much harder to detect. Read the KnowBe4 blog for details: https://www.knowbe4.com/press/knowbe4-research-finds-86-of-phishing-attacks-are-ai-driven

Most business owners don’t think about “tiered help desk support” — until a tech issue slows down the workday.

From quick password resets to complex network troubleshooting, every IT issue falls into a different level of support. The question is: does your business have the right resources when problems move beyond the basics?

In our latest blog, we break down:
✔️ What tiered help desk support actually means and how to blend internal and external support
✔️ The difference between Tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 support
✔️ When SMBs should consider outsourced IT support

Technology problems shouldn’t interrupt your business operations or create uncertainty.

Not every business can solve every technology issue they encounter. That’s why we offer tiered help desk support.

Think your cloud provider handles all your security? Think again.

Platforms like Microsoft and Amazon Web Services follow a shared responsibility model—they secure the infrastructure, but you’re responsible for your data, settings, and access.

23% of cloud security incidents stem from misconfigurations alone.

Phishing isn’t slowing down—in fact, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, phishing is the initial attack point in 1 in 6 breaches.

Hackers are using AI to create hard-to-spot emails that look almost exactly like the emails from many trusted brands. All it takes is one click and one stolen credential during one moment of distraction.

The good news? A few simple changes can dramatically reduce your risk.

Read our 2-minute micro blog for 5 quick tips to reduce your phishing risk and protect your business: https://toucan.tech/5-phishing-attack-prevention-strategies/

Phishing attack prevention is easier than many other cyber attack preventions. It takes a bit staff training and some simple tools.

A report from the Cloud Security Alliance warns of an “AI vulnerability storm,” where AI can find and exploit security gaps faster than most teams can respond.

Early details suggest models like this are so powerful they’re being rolled out cautiously—initially to select security researchers and vendors—before broader access.

What’s changing:
• Vulnerabilities discovered in bulk
• Exploits generated almost instantly
• Less time to fix issues before they’re used

For most businesses, the biggest risks are still the basics:
► Internet-facing systems you didn’t know were exposed
► Misconfigurations
► Small gaps that get missed

Cybersecurity today isn’t one big fix—it’s staying on top of hundreds of small things.

Indiana's St. Joseph County confirmed a breach tied to an external fax server, with an Iran-linked group claiming access to 2TB of data across health services, law enforcement, and government offices.

They didn’t “hack the network.” They found a weak point in a connected system.

The key takeaway: It only takes one overlooked tool, vendor, or security gap.

At Toucan, we help Greater Indianapolis businesses secure everything connected to your environment, so you can rest easy.
