Cybersecurity experts Rob Wright (Dark Reading), David Jones (Cybersecurity Dive), and Alissa Irei (TechTarget Search Security) recently came together to discuss the future of online security. Let’s take a look at their insights on major trends and new risks to help businesses better navigate the challenges on the horizon.

Cloud computing is the use of remote servers to store, manage, and process data, freeing businesses from the limits of physical infrastructure. For small businesses, that means reduced IT overhead, improved agility, and access to enterprise-level tools.

Strong passwords are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect online accounts. Still, many businesses use weak or reuse credentials. Learning how to create stronger passwords can significantly lower your business’s risk without adding unnecessary complexity to your security practices.

If clients, partners, or other visitors to your office occasionally ask for Wi-Fi access, you need more than just a shared password. A secure guest Wi-Fi setup protects your business from digital threats while still keeping visitors connected. Here's a guide to doing it right.

Letting visitors use your company’s Wi-Fi might seem like good hospitality, but it could come at a high cost. Whether it’s accidental access to sensitive files or slowing down your connection, a poorly configured network can create unnecessary risk.

The days of static documents and "version control" nightmares are officially over. In 2026, Microsoft Loop has evolved into a dynamic platform where content is portable and alive. From the new support in Outlook for Mac and Calendar to the deep integration with Microsoft Planner, Loop is transforming how teams interact.

Collaboration should be easy, not a chore. That’s why Microsoft Loop is such a game changer for teams of all sizes. It’s a simple way to keep your notes, lists, and tasks right where your conversations are happening, whether that’s in a quick Teams chat or a formal Outlook invite.

Think cloud computing is just about storage? Think again. For small and medium businesses, the cloud offers major cybersecurity advantages, from expert protection to disaster recovery and fewer system vulnerabilities. Learn how the cloud can help you stay secure and competitive.

Technology can be a game-changer for growing businesses. From speeding up workflows to helping teams collaborate more efficiently, the right tools can drive great improvements. But not every tech investment pays off, especially when businesses jump in without a clear plan.
