Hello Friend, 

September brings new opportunities and fresh starts, but it also brings new cybersecurity challenges. As more businesses rush to integrate AI into their operations without proper security reviews, we're seeing some concerning trends.

This month, we're covering why AI security matters, important Windows 10 updates and a surprising way rental car companies are using technology that could cost you money. 

AI tools promise incredible productivity gains, but rushing into AI integration without a security review could put your business at serious risk. When you integrate AI, or any tool, without proper security oversight, you're exposing your company to data breaches, compliance violations and shadow IT risks. Remember, some AI tools need access to your sensitive data to work for your team.

Additionally, if your company is in a regulated industry the mishandling of AI can lead to hefty fines.

Before you start letting employees use AI, have our team help you configure it properly. We'll help you choose the tools that are the most secure. . 

As of October 14, 2025, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive any updates, including security updates. This means your business or others using this operating system could experience major cybersecurity issues.

Vulnerabilities in the operating system will likely still exist and won’t be fixed. This gives cybercriminals time to find and exploit them, and gain access to your company’s sensitive data.

As Windows 10 phases out, we expect an increase in cyber threats like ransomware, data breaches, malware and more. If you don’t make the switch to Windows 11, or pay for protection, you could even face losing your compliance status.

Extended security updates (ESU) licenses are now available from Microsoft for those that don't plan on upgrading their OS or system. The price is $61 for the first year and pricing will increase each year to renew.

Reach out to your account manager to learn if the ESU is right for you.  

Rental car companies are now using AI to scan vehicles before and after you rent them, looking for every tiny scratch and blemish to charge you for. These systems can detect damage you might not even notice, then hit you with unexpected fees.

It’s important to protect yourself first. To help you prove you didn't damage a rental car, apps like Record360 and Damage Control let you create timestamped photo and video records of the car's condition. Newer AI-powered apps like Proofr and Ravin AI can even help identify and document existing damage automatically.

Use the apps to take photos and videos of the car before you even get inside! Don't let rental companies use technology against you.

Fight AI with AI!
