Keeping your business running on reliable hardware is more than a matter of speed — it’s about cost control, security, and day-to-day productivity. But with rising equipment prices and longer manufacturer support cycles, 2026 presents a tricky choice for Albuquerque
Artificial intelligence isn’t a future concept anymore — it’s quietly changing how small businesses operate. From automating repetitive tasks to strengthening cybersecurity, AI can be a real productivity boost when used wisely. But with new tools launching daily, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or invest in something that adds more confusion than value.
Cloud technology has changed the way Albuquerque businesses work — giving small teams the power to collaborate, share files, and access data anywhere. But for many companies, what started as a cost-saving move has turned into a budget drain.
Every December, tech sites flood the internet with bold predictions — AI revolutions, blockchain breakthroughs, metaverse meetings — and most of it never reaches a single small business office in Albuquerque.
When an employee leaves your company—whether on good terms or not—there’s often more at stake than a simple handoff. Laptops, logins, and lingering access can leave cracks in your defenses. These access gaps are one of the most overlooked cybersecurity risks for small businesses—and they can quickly lead to data exposure, account misuse, or even a breach.

The holidays should bring celebration, not cleanup. But every year, cybercriminals take advantage of the season’s distractions — and even the most careful businesses can fall victim. Last December, an accounts payable clerk at a midsize company received an urgent text from her “CEO”: buy $3,000 in Apple gift cards for clients, scratch the backs, and e-mail the codes.
In our November newsletter, we shared a quick reminder about shopping local and staying cyber-safe. In this expanded version, we’re taking that message a step further—because supporting local businesses isn’t just good for Albuquerque’s economy, it’s also an opportunity to practice smarter cybersecurity on both sides of the transaction.
This time of year, it’s normal to get a little spooked. Ghosts, goblins, and jump scares are all part of the Halloween fun. But there’s one threat hiding in the dark that’s no joke—and it could be targeting your business without you even knowing it.
MFA is like putting a second lock on your digital doors. Even if someone gets your password, they’ll hit a dead end unless they also have your phone, your fingerprint, or a special code only you can access. That extra step? It makes a huge difference—and takes barely any effort on your part.
