Well, look at Rich DePierro trading in his keyboard for a scoop and getting to work packing meals for those in need! This Marine-turned-tech-guru doesn’t just protect networks—he’s out here making sure people get a hot meal, too. With Rise Against Hunger he and the crew tackled this mission with military precision, scooping, sealing, and stacking like a well-oiled machine. I half expected him to start calling out coordinates! When a community comes together, big things happen—one box at a time, one meal at a time. Proud of my guy for stepping up and giving back. Ever done something like this? Highly recommend. Bonus: the hairnets are a bold fashion statement #EndHunger #XChange #MSPCommunity #Philanthropy #Teamwork

By Friday afternoon, my brain has more error messages than a Windows ‘98 computer. 😩🐶 Logged out due to inactivity, and the password hint might as well be written in ancient Greek. Good thing in the tech world, we’ve got 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 for moments like this. Unlike my brain after a long week, they 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 forget. If you’re still using “Password123” or a sticky note under your keyboard, bless your heart—but it’s time for an upgrade. Stay safe, stay smart, and for heaven’s sake, don’t let your brain be the weak link in your cybersecurity!

That’s like thinkin’ mosquitoes only bite millionaires. 😬 Hackers love small businesses 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 they skip the basics—like locking digital doors before the bad guys waltz right in. Ransomware’s up. Data breaches are nastier. Regulators are cracking down. And when—not if—you get hit, tellin’ your customers “𝘖𝘰𝘱𝘴, 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘥” ain’t gonna cut it. But don’t fret, darlin’! A 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 can keep you off the hacker buffet. 🛑🔒 So, what’s it gonna be? Lock things down now, or wait ‘til you’re explaining why customer data is floatin’ around the dark web? 🤨 👉 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭-𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲.
