In today’s cybersecurity landscape, organizations should invest heavily in firewalls, endpoint detection, zero-trust architectures, intrusion detection systems, SIEM platforms, and strong encryption. These barriers are essential, and do stop many attacks. But there’s one attack vector that routinely bypasses technical defenses: social engineering.

At the end of the day, your employees are the last line of defense for when technology can’t recognize deception. If your employees are not trained, vigilant, and aligned with security protocols, a single manipulated click or crafty email can lead to devastating results.

On September 17th, PulseOne hosted our live Copilot event—The AI Advantage: Unleashing Copilot Agents Across Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365—at Microsoft’s Tech Center in Irvine. With clear skies and a full room of attendees, the day was a great opportunity to learn, connect, and explore how AI is transforming the way we work. We’d like to extend our thanks to everyone who joined us in person and to those who supported behind the scenes. For those who couldn’t attend, here’s a detailed look back at the highlights.

 

In this episode, Chad speaks with Andrew Evers, CTO of Infrascale, to discuss cloud-based data protection and disaster recovery for SMBs. Andrew has over two decades of experience in automation and product development, and has led teams in information technology, security, and regulated operations for several industries.

If your business works with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is something you can’t afford to ignore. CMMC was designed to make sure that contractors and subcontractors who handle sensitive government data, such as Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), have the right protections in place.

As generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini become increasingly integrated into our daily workflows, they’re transforming how employees write, code, research, and collaborate. Their efficiency and accessibility make them indispensable in many industries, but their rapid adoption also brings a new layer of risk. Every time a user interacts with one of these platforms by asking a question, pasting in a document, or sharing snippets of proprietary code, there’s potential for sensitive data to slip into environments outside the organization’s control.

 

In this episode, Chad talks with Jason Melo, CTO and Co-Founder of TouchBrick, to explore its solution that strengthens organizational data security when working with generative AI chatbots. Jason holds over 15 years of expertise in developing secure, scalable systems across web, mobile, AI, blockchain, and cloud platforms.

Part 5 of 5:

In today’s digital landscape, the threat of cyberattacks is ever-present, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Limited resources and expertise leave SMBs vulnerable, and the costs—both financial and reputational—can be devastating.

Cyber insurance offers protection, but premiums are rising, and insurers are demanding stricter security measures. Enter PulseOne: a trusted partner in cyber risk management that strengthens your cybersecurity and helps reduce costs, including cyber insurance premiums.

Part 4 of 5:

Cyber insurance is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs) in today’s threat landscape. As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated and frequent, finding the right coverage can make or break your organization in the wake of an incident. But shopping for cyber insurance isn’t as simple as picking a policy off the shelf. There’s a maze of coverage options, exclusions, and costs to navigate, and making the wrong choice can leave your business exposed when it matters most.

In this guide, we’ll focus on how SMB leaders, particularly CFOs and other organizational purchasers, can shop for cyber insurance effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and maximize the benefits of a well-chosen policy.

Part 3 of 5:

As a business leader of a small to medium-sized business, you’re at the helm of a ship navigating the challenging waters of today’s digital landscape. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting businesses like yours, knowing that while you might not have the extensive cybersecurity infrastructure of larger corporations, you handle valuable data and assets that are enticing to them.

Part 2 of 5: 

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face a growing threat from cybercriminals who see them as easy targets due to perceived weaker security measures and the valuable data they possess. Contrary to the misconception that SMBs are too small to be targeted, statistics show that they are increasingly victims of attacks, with ransomware being a particularly prevalent threat. Cyberattacks can cripple SMBs, leading to substantial financial losses from system repairs, data recovery, business interruption, and potential lawsuits.
