Managed & Secured Podcast

Small business IT support teams are facing a new kind of blind spot in 2026. The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council's 2026 Tech Use Survey found that 82% of small business employers have invested in AI tools, and those tools are showing up everywhere in daily operations. The problem? Most of these businesses still have nothing written down about how AI should be used. That means employees are figuring it out on their own, and plenty of them are pasting customer information, financial records, and confidential data into tools nobody is keeping an eye on.In this episode of Manage and Secure, host Olivia talks with Mark, an IT specialist with years of experience in cybersecurity, networking, and managed IT services. Together they break down why every small business needs a simple AI use policy in 2026, and how to write one your team will actually read.
You'll learn:
Why 82% of small businesses use AI but most still have no policy
The 3 questions every small business AI policy has to answer
Why a one-page policy works better than a long corporate handbook

Small business IT solutions are changing fast - and cloud PCs are leading the shift.

In this episode of Manage and Secure, host Olivia sits down with Mark, an IT specialist with deep experience in cybersecurity, networking, and managed IT services, to break down one of the most dangerous and least-understood phishing techniques targeting small businesses today: device code phishing.
You’ll learn:
