Microsoft Price Increase Campaign

Subject line: Microsoft’s prices went up. Let’s make sure you’re not overpaying
 

Dear {first_name},

You may have seen that Microsoft increased its Microsoft 365 prices on 1 July. Most business plans went up. Business Basic and Standard rose by around 12–17%, and the enterprise plans by a similar margin.
 
The upside is that a price rise is a good moment to check you’re only paying for what you actually use. When we review clients’ licences, we often find things like:
  • Seats being paid for that nobody has logged into for months
  • People on a pricier plan than their role really needs
  • Monthly billing costing around 20% more than an annual commitment
  • Security features you’re already entitled to that are still switched off
More often than not, sorting this out offsets some or all of the increase. Sometimes it saves more than the rise costs.
 
The change applies to you at your next renewal, so the sooner we look, the more options you have. Can I set up a quick licensing review before your renewal date?

Kind regards,

{sender_name}
{job_title}, {Your MSP Name}

Subject line: Following up on your Microsoft renewal
 

Dear {first_name},

Just following up on the Microsoft price change. Timing matters because the new pricing kicks in at your next renewal. That means the best time to right-size your licences and lock in better value is before that date, not after.
 
A short review will show you exactly what you’re paying for, what’s actually being used, and where you can trim things back. There’s no obligation. It’s simply a clear picture before your renewal comes around.
 
Shall I send some times?

Microsoft 365 Prices Have Gone Up. Here’s How to Pay Less, Not More
 
On 1 July 2026, Microsoft increased the price of most of its Microsoft 365 business plans. If you rely on Microsoft 365 (and almost every business does), your costs are going up.
A price rise is also a useful prompt to check something most businesses never look at properly. Are you actually paying for what you use?

What’s changed

Most commercial plans went up by roughly 8–17%. Business Basic rose from $6 to $7, Business Standard from $12.50 to $14, and the enterprise plans by a similar margin.
Notably, Business Premium and Office 365 E1 held flat. For some businesses, that changes the maths on which plan gives the best value.

Why you might not feel it yet

The new pricing applies to each organisation at its next renewal after 1 July, not overnight. That’s good news because it gives you a window to act before the increase lands.
The businesses that do best are the ones that use that window, rather than waiting for the higher bill to arrive.

How a licensing review can offset the rise

Most businesses build up waste in their Microsoft 365 setup over time. A short review typically uncovers seats nobody uses, people on plans that cost more than their role needs, and monthly billing quietly costing around 20% more than an annual commitment.
Tidying this up often offsets the increase. Sometimes it saves more than the rise costs in the first place.

The features you’re now paying for

The increase comes with new security, storage and AI features added to most plans. If you’re paying more, it’s worth checking those features are actually switched on and being used.
That’s especially true for the security additions, which may let you drop other paid tools you’re currently buying separately.

Ready to take a look?

At [Your company], we run a free licensing review that shows you exactly where you can trim before your renewal date. [Book a call / link] and let’s make sure the price rise works in your favour, not against you.
Microsoft increased its Microsoft 365 prices on 1 July 2026. Most businesses will do one of two things. Only one of them tends to come out ahead.

What happened

Most business plans rose by roughly 8–17%. Business Premium and E1 held flat. The new pricing hits each organisation at its next renewal, not overnight. That gives you a window to act.

The two responses

Option one is to absorb the increase and move on. Option two is to use it as a reason to finally check what you’re actually paying for. The second group almost always ends up better off.

What a review usually finds

Seats nobody uses. People on plans that cost more than their role needs. Monthly billing that costs about 20% more than annual. Tidy those up and you often offset the whole increase. Sometimes you save more than the rise costs.

Microsoft’s prices went up — let’s make sure you’re not overpaying

 

Hi {first_name},

You may have seen that Microsoft increased its Microsoft 365 prices on July 1. Most business plans went up — Business Basic and Standard by around 12–17%, and the enterprise plans by a similar margin.

Here’s the good news: a price rise is the perfect moment to make sure you’re only paying for what you actually use. When we review clients’ licenses, we very often find:

  • Seats being paid for that nobody has logged into for months
  • People on a pricier plan than their role needs
  • Monthly billing costing around 20% more than an annual commitment
  • Security features you’re already entitled to sitting switched off

More often than not, tidying this up offsets some or all of the increase — sometimes it saves more than the rise costs.

The change applies to you at your next renewal, so the sooner we look, the more options you have. Can I set up a quick licensing review before your renewal date?

Microsoft 365 Prices Have Gone Up — Here’s How to Pay Less, Not More

 

On July 1, 2026, Microsoft increased the price of most of its Microsoft 365 business plans. If you rely on Microsoft 365 — and almost every business does — your costs are going up. But a price rise is also the ideal prompt to check something most businesses never look at closely: whether you’re actually paying for what you use.

What’s changed

Most commercial plans went up by roughly 8–17%. Business Basic rose from $6 to $7, Business Standard from $12.50 to $14, and the enterprise plans by a similar margin. Notably, Business Premium and Office 365 E1 held flat — which, for some businesses, changes the maths on which plan represents the best value.

Why you might not feel it yet

The new pricing applies to each organization at its next renewal after July 1, not overnight. That’s good news: it gives you a window to act before the increase lands. The businesses that come out ahead are the ones that use that window rather than waiting for the higher bill to arrive.

How a licensing review can offset the rise

Most businesses accumulate waste in their Microsoft 365 setup over time. A short review typically finds seats nobody uses, people on plans more expensive than their role needs, and monthly billing quietly costing around 20% more than an annual commitment. Tidying these up frequently offsets the increase — and sometimes saves more than the rise costs in the first place.

The features you’re now paying for

The increase comes with new security, storage and AI features added to most plans. If you’re paying more, it’s worth making sure those features are actually switched on — particularly the security additions, which may let you drop other paid tools you’re buying separately.

The Hidden Hours Email Campaign

A ready-to-use client email that opens the conversation on automation and where it could save your clients time.

Subject line: Is your team spending hours on work that could run itself?
 

Dear {first_name},

As a valued partner of {Your MSP Name}, I wanted to put this resource in front of you, it may well be worth passing along to clients or others in your network.

It touches on something we hear from businesses of all sizes: teams quietly losing hours every week to tasks that nobody has ever stopped to question.

Research suggests 40% of employees spend around five hours each week on repetitive tasks that could be automated.

The tricky part is that these tasks rarely feel urgent enough to challenge. They blend into the working week and simply get done. But recurring tasks are almost always the best place to look first, because automating even one of them can free up meaningful time across your whole team.

I’d love to have a quick 15-minute conversation to explore where automation could make the biggest difference for your business. Book a slot below and we can identify some practical quick wins together.

[link to book]

Six tasks worth automating right now

These are some of the most common areas we help businesses tackle, without disrupting the way their teams already work:

1. Data entry and file management
Automatically move information between systems and keep records up to date without anyone lifting a finger.


2. Appointment and meeting reminders
Cut down on no-shows and remove the need for staff to chase attendees manually.


3. Invoicing and payment follow-ups
Set invoicing and reminder schedules to run automatically and help your cash flow stay on track.


4. Post-service client follow-ups
Trigger automatic check-ins after a job is completed, keeping clients engaged without the admin overhead.


5. Reporting and dashboards
Have weekly summaries and reports generated and delivered automatically, no manual compiling required.


6. Client onboarding
Automate welcome messages, intake forms, and internal setup tasks so new clients get a smooth experience from day one.

Automation is about freeing up your team, not replacing them

When routine admin takes care of itself, your people can stop chasing paperwork and start focusing on the work that actually moves the business forward, stronger client relationships, sharper strategy, and higher-value outputs.

Even modest automation improvements can unlock some of the most significant productivity gains a business can make. The challenge is simply knowing where to start and how to introduce changes without unsettling how your team works today.

Curious what this could look like in your business?

The biggest gains often come from straightforward changes that run quietly in the background, reducing errors, saving time, and improving consistency without anyone noticing the heavy lifting.

At {Your MSP Name}, we work with businesses to identify practical automation opportunities using the tools and systems they already rely on. We’ll help you map out the quickest wins so your team can spend less time on manual tasks and more time on what matters most.

Reply to this email or book a free 15-minute call and we’ll walk through exactly where automation could have the biggest impact for your business.

The Hidden Hours Email Campaign

A ready-to-use client email that opens the conversation on automation and where it could save your clients time.

Subject line: How many hours is your team losing to tasks that could run on autopilot?
 

Hi {first_name},

As a valued {Your MSP Name} partner, I wanted to share something that might be worth passing along to your clients or broader network.

It gets at a challenge we see constantly: teams burning hours every week on tasks that have never once been questioned.

Research shows that 40% of employees spend around five hours per week on repetitive work that could be automated.

The problem? These tasks rarely feel important enough to fix. They just become part of the weekly routine. But if something happens every single week, it’s usually one of the best opportunities to automate — and reclaim that time for work that actually drives growth.

I’d love to connect for a quick 15-minute call to explore where automation could move the needle most for your business. Grab a time below and we’ll pinpoint some fast wins together.

[link to book]

Six things worth automating today

Here are the most common areas we help businesses streamline — without changing how their teams operate:

1. Data entry and file organization
Automatically sync information across systems and keep records current — no manual updates needed.


2. Appointment and meeting reminders
Reduce no-shows and eliminate the back-and-forth of manual reminder follow-ups.


3. Invoicing and payment reminders
Put your billing cycle on autopilot to improve cash flow and reduce time spent chasing payments.


4. Post-service client check-ins
Automatically follow up after a job or service is complete to keep clients engaged without the extra legwork.


5. Reports and dashboards
Get weekly summaries and performance reports generated and delivered automatically — no manual compile needed.


6. Client onboarding
Trigger welcome emails, intake forms, and internal setup tasks automatically so every new client gets a consistent experience from day one.

Automation isn’t about replacing people — it’s about removing friction

When routine admin runs on its own, your team stops losing time to reminders, data entry, and report-building — and starts spending that time on client relationships, strategic thinking, and work that actually grows the business.

Even small automation wins can unlock some of the fastest productivity gains a company can achieve. The challenge is knowing which tasks to tackle first and how to roll out changes without disrupting how your team works day to day.

Want to see what this could look like for your business?

The biggest wins often come from simple improvements that run quietly in the background — saving time, cutting manual errors, and building consistency across your operations.

At {Your MSP Name}, we partner with businesses to identify real automation opportunities using the tools they already have in place. We’ll help you map out the fastest wins so your team can spend less time on manual work and more time on what drives results.

Reply to this email or book a free 15-minute call and we’ll walk through exactly where automation can make the biggest impact for your business.

Deepfake scams are becoming easier to launch
AI is making it much simpler for cyber criminals to impersonate real people. With “deepfake as a service” tools now easy to buy and use, businesses cannot rely on recognising a familiar face or voice. This is likely to fuel more “fake boss” scams, where employees receive realistic calls or video messages requesting urgent payments or sensitive information.
Question:
If someone got a convincing “boss” call asking for an urgent payment, what’s your verification step before anything is approved?
Hashtags:

Pausing Windows updates is useful… forgetting about them isn’t
Myth: “Delaying updates is harmless as long as everything still works.”
Reality: Windows updates do more than introduce new features. Many fix security vulnerabilities that attackers actively look for. Falling too far behind can leave devices exposed for longer than necessary and make future updates more disruptive.
Tip:
Use the pause feature for genuine short term situations, but keep a regular update routine with clear ownership and a schedule.
Prompt:
Do you have a defined patch routine, or is it more “when someone remembers”?
Hashtags:
#WindowsUpdates #PatchManagement #CyberSecurity #MSP #BusinessIT
Microsoft 365 hit by 81 million password attacks in two weeks
Attackers used usernames and passwords from previous data breaches to launch huge numbers of login attempts against Microsoft 365 accounts. The worrying part is that many businesses already had MFA enabled, but gaps in configuration still allowed attackers to get in. It’s a reminder that switching on MFA is not the finish line. It’s the starting point.
Question:
When did you last review your Microsoft 365 security settings and conditional access rules?
Hashtags:
#Microsoft365 #MFA #IdentitySecurity #CyberSecurity #MSP
WhatsApp usernames create an impersonation risk
Moving away from phone numbers is good for privacy, but usernames can make it easier for scammers to impersonate colleagues, suppliers, customers, or senior managers. A message can look convincing even when it is not. For anything sensitive, especially payments or account changes, teams need a habit of verifying requests independently.
Poll Question:
Would you approve a payment request that came through WhatsApp?
Options:
  • Never
  • Only if verified another way
  • Yes, if it looks legitimate
  • We already do this
Intro suggestion:
Usernames make impersonation easier. Curious how strict businesses are about payment requests over messaging apps.

Businesses are adopting AI faster than they can secure it
A lot of organisations have updated their AI security policies, but far fewer can actually enforce them day to day. AI-powered attacks are getting faster and more convincing, especially around phishing and malware. At the same time, many businesses lack visibility into how employees and systems are using AI across cloud platforms. The challenge isn’t just adopting AI safely. It’s keeping security processes aligned as usage spreads.
Question:
Do you have visibility and rules around where your team is using AI, or is it happening quietly in the background?
Hashtags:
#CyberSecurity #AI #RiskManagement #CloudSecurity #MSP
Businesses are reserving AI capacity like cloud infrastructure
Myth: “AI is still just an experiment for most businesses.”
Reality: AI is becoming operationally critical. Large organisations can now reserve guaranteed long term access to AI computing infrastructure, which shows how quickly AI is moving from experimentation to reliability, scalability, and dependency.
Tip:
If your workflows rely on AI, treat it like any other critical supplier. Plan for availability, governance, and what happens if access changes or costs rise.
Prompt:
If your key AI tools disappeared for a week, what would break first?
Hashtags:
#AI #Automation #BusinessContinuity #DigitalTransformation #MSP
Downtime is becoming one of the biggest hidden business costs
Unplanned downtime is rising as businesses become more dependent on digital systems and cloud platforms. The impact goes far beyond lost revenue. It hits customer service, operations, marketing, and reputation at the same time. The businesses that recover fastest usually already have response plans, clear ownership, and operational resilience in place before anything goes wrong.
Question:
If one of your core systems went down tomorrow, do you have a clear plan for the first 60 minutes?
Hashtags:

Cyber criminals are weaponising the password reset process
Attackers are combining real Microsoft authentication prompts with phone-based impersonation. They trigger genuine password reset requests, then call victims pretending to be IT support. Because the prompt is real, the attack feels legitimate and catches people off guard. Strong verification around password resets and unexpected MFA approvals is becoming essential.
Poll Question:
How does your business handle password resets and MFA approvals?
Options:
  • IT verifies identity every time
  • We have a process, but it’s inconsistent
  • Users mostly handle it themselves
  • Not sure what the process is
Intro suggestion:
If the prompt is real, it’s easy to trust the call. Curious how businesses are tightening up reset and MFA processes.
Hashtags:

The strangest cyber attack starts with a phone call
Attackers are calling businesses pretending to be employees or executives, using real details to sound convincing. They create urgency to push for login resets, MFA changes, or access updates. Once they get a foothold, they can access emails, files, and systems, and it can look like a normal internal request the whole way through.
Question:
If someone phoned your business today claiming to be a director who “can’t get in”, what’s your verification process?
Hashtags:
#CyberSecurity #SocialEngineering #ITSupport #MSP #BusinessProtection
New cyber trick: Create the problem, then offer the fix
Myth: “If it feels like a normal support experience, it must be safe.”
Reality: Some attackers are now staging issues to make their help feel legitimate. One tactic is flooding Teams inboxes with spam, then contacting victims posing as IT support to “resolve” it. Victims get guided to fake login pages and may unknowingly install software that gives attackers ongoing access.
Tip:
Set a clear rule: support only happens through approved channels. No logins, downloads, or remote access from unsolicited messages or calls.
Prompt:
Would your team know how to report a suspicious “IT support” message in Teams?
Hashtags:
#MicrosoftTeams #CyberSecurity #Phishing #SecurityAwareness #MSP
Passwords are on the way out
Passkeys are setting a new standard for secure logins. Instead of passwords, passkeys use device based authentication like fingerprints or face recognition. That removes one of the biggest risks in most attacks: stolen or reused login details. For businesses, it can improve both security and user experience, especially for high risk accounts.
Question:
Have you started rolling out passkeys anywhere yet, or are you still password first across the board?
Hashtags:
#Passkeys #Authentication #CyberSecurity #MFA #MSP
A trusted WordPress update turned into a hidden backdoor
Attackers are buying legitimate WordPress plugins, then adding malicious code into updates sent to thousands of websites. In this case, the backdoor allowed full access and even showed harmful content only to search engines, keeping it hidden from site owners. It’s a reminder that supply chain attacks are now aimed at “trusted” tools, not just obvious threats.
Poll Question:
How confident are you in your website update and plugin review process?
Options:
  • Very confident, we review everything
  • Fairly confident, but we could tighten it up
  • Not confident, updates are ad hoc
  • Not sure what’s installed
Intro suggestion:
Supply chain attacks are hitting trusted plugins now. Curious how people are managing updates and reviews.

AI is saving time… but not everyone is seeing the benefit
There’s a growing divide between businesses using AI every day and those not using it at all. Plenty of decision makers are already saving hours each week using AI for everyday tasks, but many smaller businesses and individuals still have not started. The gap often comes down to exposure and confidence. The people who experiment regularly tend to see the biggest gains.

Can you spot phishing as easily as you think?
Myth: “Our team would spot a phishing email straight away.”
Reality: Many employees feel confident spotting phishing, but far fewer can do it in realistic tests. AI is making phishing messages more polished and harder to distinguish from normal business communication. Traditional training is not always keeping pace.
Tip:
Move beyond tick box training. Run realistic tests, share examples, and make reporting suspicious messages easy and encouraged.
Prompt:
If someone in your team clicked a phishing link today, what happens next?

Is more control over updates what we need?
Microsoft is giving Windows 11 users more flexibility to pause updates for longer, with fewer forced restarts interrupting work. That is great for control and productivity, but it also increases the risk of delaying critical security patches. The real challenge is choosing the right moment to apply updates before vulnerabilities are exploited.
Question:
Do you prefer automatic updates, or controlled patch windows with a clear schedule?
Hashtags:
#Windows11 #PatchManagement #CyberSecurity #MSP #BusinessIT
File Explorer is getting faster… at last
Microsoft is working on performance improvements in File Explorer, including faster right click menus and smoother navigation. Small delays in everyday tools add up over time, and across a whole business they can quietly drain productivity. It is a good sign to see focus shifting back to reliability and usability, not just new features.
Poll Question:
What frustrates you most about everyday PC performance at work?
Options:
  • Slow file browsing and search
  • Updates and restarts at the wrong time
  • Apps freezing or running slowly
  • Too many tools and logins
Intro suggestion:
Little delays add up. Curious what slows teams down the most day to day.

New Android malware can track almost everything you do
Security researchers have uncovered a malicious Android app disguised as a security tool. Once installed, it can capture PIN codes, banking details, screen activity, and even overlay fake login screens on top of genuine apps. It works by abusing Android Accessibility permissions, which gives it deep access to what people are doing on their devices.

Fake Apple Pay alerts are targeting people
Myth: If a fraud alert looks urgent, you should call the number straight away.
Reality: A new scam is sending emails and texts that look like official Apple Pay fraud warnings. Victims are told a high-value transaction was blocked and urged to call “support”, but the number connects directly to scammers trying to steal Apple ID logins, verification codes, and payment details.
Tip:
Apple does not ask people to call numbers in unsolicited messages. Always verify alerts through the official app or website instead.
Prompt:
Would your team know how to spot the difference between a real fraud alert and a fake one?

Microsoft is introducing Copilot Agents in OneDrive, which changes how AI works with files. Instead of analysing one document at a time, users can bundle up to 20 related documents into a single agent file. These agents can summarise content, surface deadlines, answer questions, and track themes across the whole set. Because the agents are saved as files, they can also be shared with colleagues.

This controversial Teams update has been delayed
Microsoft planned a Teams feature that would show someone’s work location based on the Wi Fi network they’re connected to. The reaction was immediate, especially from hybrid workers, because it raises real privacy and trust concerns. Microsoft has delayed the rollout again, which suggests it’s still trying to balance flexibility for staff with visibility for employers.

Gen Z, not older generations, fears AI most
Myth: “Younger workers are the least worried about AI.”
Reality: Research suggests Gen Z workers are the most anxious about AI replacing jobs, even though they use AI tools heavily. Meanwhile, Boomers reportedly feel the most confident about adapting to workplace changes driven by AI. Many people know they need to upskill, but they’re not sure whether that responsibility sits with them or their employer.

Scammers are now targeting real apps
Cyber criminals are modifying legitimate apps (including banking and government apps), then tricking people into installing them via texts, phone calls, and fake websites. Once installed, these “real-looking” apps can steal credentials, commit fraud, and even give attackers control of the device. The scary part is how normal everything looks.

Most businesses are testing AI, but few are ready for it
Lots of organisations are piloting AI, but only a small percentage have deployed it properly day to day. The blocker usually isn’t the AI tool — it’s messy data, disconnected systems, and weak foundations. The next big gains from AI won’t just be chatbots or marketing. They’ll come from operations, admin, and efficiency — but only if the groundwork is right.

AI adoption isn’t about age, it’s about confidence
Research suggests older employees are less likely to see the benefits of AI than younger colleagues — but it’s often down to exposure and training, not attitude. Many people aren’t rejecting AI, they just haven’t been shown practical use cases that fit their day to day work. Skills, guidance, and safe boundaries matter more than pushing tools and hoping people catch up.
Poll Question:
What’s the biggest factor holding AI adoption back in most businesses?

Big Brother or better teamwork? Teams will soon know where you’re working
Microsoft is testing a new feature in Teams that automatically updates your status when you connect to your company’s Wi Fi. That means Teams can show when someone is working in the office without them changing their status manually. It could make coordination easier, but it also raises questions about privacy and employee trust. Business owners will need to decide how they use these kinds of “smart tracking” features as AI and automation become more integrated into everyday tools.

Managers now trust AI more than junior staff
A new survey suggests managers are becoming more confident in AI than in their own junior employees. Eighty one percent of employees now use AI tools at work, but many junior staff worry they will be seen as lazy or untrustworthy if they rely on AI too often. At the same time, most managers say they would find it easier to manage AI agents than people. That is a warning sign.

Now cyber criminals are targeting mobile browsers
There’s a rise in client-side attacks when an attack happens directly on a device or browser, not a server. Criminals are infecting websites so that when people visit them on a mobile browser, they see convincing but fake prompts. Victims are tricked into installing disguised malicious apps that can steal logins and hijack sessions. Mobile devices are a growing target because their browsers have weaker protections, and people are more likely to trust full-screen popups or “install this app” messages.

Microsoft 365 hit by 81 million password attacks in two weeks
Attackers used usernames and passwords from older data breaches to launch massive login attempts against Microsoft 365 accounts.

WhatsApp usernames create an impersonation risk
Moving away from phone numbers is great for privacy, but usernames can make it easier for scammers to impersonate coworkers, vendors, customers, or executives. A message can look legit even when it isn’t. For anything sensitive, especially payments or account changes, teams need a habit of verifying requests independently.
Poll Question:
Would you approve a payment request that came through WhatsApp?

New cyber trick: Create the problem, then offer the fix
Myth: “If it feels like normal support, it must be legit.”
Reality: Some attackers are now staging issues to make their “help” feel legitimate. One tactic is flooding Teams inboxes with spam, then contacting victims pretending to be IT support to “fix” it. Victims get guided to fake login pages and may unknowingly install software that gives attackers ongoing access.

Most businesses are testing AI, but few are ready for it
A lot of organizations are piloting AI, but only a small percentage have deployed it safely and consistently day to day. The gap usually isn’t the AI tool — it’s messy data, disconnected systems, and weak foundations. The next big gains from AI won’t just be chatbots or marketing. They’ll come from operations, admin, and efficiency — but only if the groundwork is solid.
Question:
What’s the biggest blocker to real AI value in your business: data, security, or process?

AI adoption isn’t about age, it’s about confidence
Research suggests older employees are less likely to see the benefits of AI than younger colleagues — but it’s often about exposure and training, not resistance. Many people aren’t rejecting AI, they just haven’t been shown practical use cases that fit their day to day work. Training, guidance, and clear guardrails matter more than rolling out tools and hoping everyone catches up.
Poll Question:
What’s the biggest thing holding AI adoption back in most companies?
Options:
  • Lack of training and confidence
  • Unclear policies and risk concerns
  • Poor data and disconnected systems
  • People don’t see the value yet
Intro suggestion:
AI adoption isn’t just a technology issue — it’s a people and process issue too. What do you see most often?

No more Black Screen of Death embarrassment
Microsoft is rolling out a new Digital Signage mode to stop system crashes from being displayed on large screens. With Windows 11, if a crash or error occurs, the display will blank after 15 seconds—no more awkward BSOD moments in conference rooms or lobbies. Microsoft is also introducing more stability and recovery upgrades, including point-in-time system snapshots, Cloud Rebuild via Intune, and stronger BitLocker encryption.
Question:
Do you have digital signage or unattended displays in your business? How do you keep them secure and looking professional?

Is your cloud storage bill higher than it needs to be?
A recent report shows that up to half of business data is never used—and it’s costing companies more than they realize. Redundant, outdated, or trivial data (ROT) quietly piles up in cloud storage, driving higher monthly bills and slowing down daily work. Deleting or archiving unused data can significantly cut costs and boost productivity.
Tip:
Review what you’re storing, clean up digital clutter, and set up a smarter data-retention process that balances cost savings with compliance.
Prompt:
When was your last cloud storage audit?

Fake Windows Update screens are installing malware
Cybercriminals are creating full-screen update pages that look just like Windows, using them to push advanced malware onto business devices. These fake prompts trick people into pressing certain keys, which silently run malicious commands in the background—no download needed. Attacks are getting harder to spot as hackers hide malware in images and use advanced evasion tactics.

How are you educating your team to spot fake update scams?

Poll Question:
How often do you review which browser extensions are installed across your company?
Options:
  • Regularly
  • Sometimes
  • Rarely
  • Never

Too many tools are killing productivity
New research shows the average creative is juggling 14 different digital tools. It’s slowing down delivery, lowering quality, and hurting margins. Scattered workflows and tool overload are costing teams up to 1.5 extra days per person per month. Even with rising AI adoption, generic AI tools often miss context—what teams need is smarter systems and better organization, not just “more tools”.
Question:
Have you looked at your tech stack recently? Where could you cut back or streamline?

Seasonal passwords are a gift to attackers
A new analysis of 800 million compromised credentials shows people love using seasonal-themed passwords—and attackers know it. Hundreds of thousands of breached passwords contained seasonal words or predictable variations, many created during end-of-year reset cycles. Even “creative” seasonal strings are weak once modern cracking tools get involved.
Tip:
Encourage your team to move away from memorable terms and use a secure password manager and generator.

Is it time to update your password policy for 2026?

Your IoT devices could be your biggest security gap
Nearly half (48.2%) of all IoT-to-IT network connections come from high-risk devices with exploitable flaws, weak settings, or insecure protocols. Most businesses still run “flat networks,” so if a single IoT device is compromised, attackers can move sideways into core systems.

How are you segmenting and securing your IoT devices?

Fewer businesses are paying ransomware gangs
Ransom payments have dropped to a historic low of just 23%, with average payouts down by two-thirds. Better backups, stronger incident response, and improved law enforcement are making extortion far less profitable for attackers. Even “data-theft-only” attacks are losing impact.
Poll Question:
How confident are you in your company’s ability to recover from a ransomware attack?
Options:
  • Very confident
  • Somewhat confident
  • Not confident
  • Unsure

Big Brother or better teamwork? Teams will soon know where you’re working
Microsoft is testing a new Teams feature that automatically updates your status when you connect to your company Wi Fi. Teams will be able to show when someone is working in the office without them changing their status. It could make coordination easier, but it also raises questions about privacy and employee trust. Business owners need a clear stance on how they’ll use these kinds of “smart tracking” features as AI and automation become part of everyday tools.
Question:
Do you see this as helpful visibility for collaboration, or too close to surveillance?

Managers now trust AI more than junior staff
A new survey shows managers are becoming more confident in AI than in their own junior employees. Eighty one percent of employees now use AI tools at work, but many junior staff worry they will look lazy or untrustworthy if they use them too much. At the same time, most managers say they would find it easier to manage AI agents than people. That should be a wake up call.
Tip:
Position AI as a partner, not a replacement. Invest in AI training and clear expectations so your whole team feels safe and confident using it.

Microsoft plans to make Windows 11 “AI native”
Microsoft has confirmed it is rebuilding Windows 11 around artificial intelligence, turning it into an “AI native” operating system instead of one with a few AI add ons. That means AI will be baked into Windows itself, working locally on your device as well as in the cloud. It has big implications for productivity, automation, and how IT teams manage devices.
Question:
Is your business planning for an AI native Windows future, or are you still on the sidelines?

Fake Microsoft Teams installers used in ransomware attacks
Attackers have been running a major ransomware campaign using fake Microsoft Teams downloads. They set up websites and search ads that look like the official Teams download page, then trick people into installing malware. Microsoft has disrupted the operation and revoked more than 200 digital certificates, but the technique is likely to resurface.
Poll Question:
How strict are your rules around downloading and installing software?
Options:
  • Very strict with central controls
  • We have policies, but people have freedom
  • It is mostly down to individual users
  • We do not really have rules
Intro suggestion:
Fake Teams installers are a reminder that one wrong download can open the door to ransomware.

Copilot Vision is coming to Windows 11
Microsoft has quietly rolled out a new AI feature called Copilot Vision. Vision lets Copilot “see” what’s on your screen and help you with it—not just in a browser tab, but in any open window on your PC. It can answer questions about what’s on screen, guide you to the right button, and even search the web if needed. It can’t scroll for you or click buttons—you stay in control.
Question:
Would you use Copilot Vision to boost productivity, or do you prefer to keep your screen private?

AI companions on your Windows 11 Taskbar
Microsoft is testing a new feature called “Agentic Companions.” These are AI helpers built right into the Taskbar. They’ll be able to “see” what’s on your screen and suggest actions—like helping you find a button or automating a task. Microsoft’s vision is for Windows to become more voice and AI-driven, moving beyond just keyboard and mouse.

Hackers can hide inside Zoom and Teams calls
Security researchers have discovered a new hacking technique called “Ghost Calls.” Attackers can hijack temporary connections to send malicious traffic through Zoom or Teams’ servers. Because this traffic looks like normal video call data (and is encrypted), it’s very hard for traditional security tools to spot. Protect your business with strong endpoint security, regular monitoring, and staff awareness.
Question:
Have you checked your video call security protocols recently?

Now cybercriminals are targeting mobile browsers
There’s a rise in client-side attacks—when an attack happens directly on a device or browser, not a server. Criminals are infecting websites so that when people visit them on a mobile browser, they see convincing but fake prompts. Victims are tricked into installing disguised malicious apps that can steal logins and hijack sessions. Mobile devices are a growing target because their browsers have weaker protections, and people are more likely to trust full-screen popups or “install this app” messages.
Poll Question:
How confident are you in your mobile device security?
Options:
  • Very confident
  • Somewhat confident
  • Not confident
  • Not sure
