Healthcare has never been a nine-to-five operation—and in 2026, the technology that supports clinics can’t be either. Modern health practices run on interconnected systems that must function reliably around the clock, from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and imaging equipment to telehealth platforms, VOIP systems, patient portals, and automated scheduling tools.

Financial firms are no strangers to regulation, but in recent years the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have significantly tightened expectations around cybersecurity, risk management, and incident response.

As healthcare practices expand digital operations and partnerships, third-party vendors now represent one of the biggest compliance and cybersecurity risks. Managed IT services for healthcare, complemented by managed security services, play a critical role in identifying, mitigating, and monitoring those risks across the vendor ecosystem.

Think back to the last time you discussed your IT budget. Chances are, it followed the same familiar script: IT asked for money to fix, upgrade, or maintain systems, and business leaders viewed it as a necessary expense — something meant to prevent failure, not to drive success.

Digital drag is what happens when outdated systems, manual processes, and disconnected tools slow down your business. It’s like trying to run a race with weights strapped to your ankles. You’re ready to move fast, but something keeps holding you back.

Why the 48 CFR Update Matters for Defense Contractors

After the Department of War (DoW) (formerly the Department of Defense) officially published the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) clause in 48 CFR, it marked a turning point for defense contractors and subcontractors across the supply chain.

Cyberattacks are no longer rare events. Every business, from startups to established companies, faces digital risks that can disrupt operations and compromise customer trust. Fortunately, preparing for these threats doesn’t require a huge budget or large teams.

If your business relies on Windows 10, October 14, 2025, is a date you cannot afford to overlook. On this day, Microsoft will officially end all support for  the Windows 10 operating system. No more security patches, feature updates, or technical assistance.

Medical practices have become prime targets for cybercriminals. With the high value of patient data, strict HIPAA requirements, and often limited IT resources, healthcare organizations are especially vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. For medical practices of any size, strong security is no longer optional — it’s essential for protecting patients and keeping operations running.

For small and midsize businesses (SMBs) in regulated industries—healthcare, financial services, law, and defense contracting—the shift to Microsoft 365 is accelerating. Remote and hybrid work have made secure, cloud-based collaboration tools essential.
