When ransomware hits critical infrastructure, the ripple effects are massive. This weekend's attack on Collins Aerospace's Muse software brought chaos to Europe's busiest airports - Heathrow, Berlin, Brussels - forcing thousands of passengers into manual check-ins and flight cancellations. The harsh reality: ✈️ Over 1,000 computers corrupted at Heathrow alone ✈️ Hackers rebuilt access even after systems were restored ✈️ Recovery required manual, on-site intervention - no remote fixes ✈️ Brussels canceled 140+ flights on Monday This isn't isolated: Cyberattacks in aviation have increased 600% in the past year. The aviation supply chain lesson: When you attack one software provider, you can paralyze operation across continents. Third-party risk isn't theoretical - it's existential. #RansomwareAttacks #SupplyChainSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #CyberResilience #AviationSecurity #ThirdPartyRisk #BusinessContinuity

Are you heading into Q4 and realizing your AI isn’t working the way you hoped? It’s the final stretch of the fiscal calendar—budgets, targets, and deadlines looming. Q4 is when you're expected to make strategic moves while keeping everything running smoothly. But maybe that “strategic move” was implementing AI… and it’s not going as planned. Here’s the thing: AI isn’t just plug-and-play. Without proper AI governance, it can create confusion, inefficiency, and risk instead of value. It's easy to get AI Analysis Paralysis— too overwhelmed to implement or confusingly rushing out of fear of AI threats. That's why our AI Implementation Program begins with a strategy with the goal that your team knows how to use it, understands the guardrails, and how to grow your ROI. Q4 is hard enough. Your AI shouldn’t make it harder. If you’re heading into the final months of the year wondering whether your AI strategy is helping—or hurting—let’s talk. #AIGovernance #Cybersecurity #AI #ResponsibleAI #MachineLearning

Think your business is "too small" to be targeted? Think again. 43% of cyberattacks hit small and medium businesses - not because they're easy targets, but because attackers know smaller companies often lack enterprise-grade defenses. The cost is hundreds of thousands in direct losses, plus the reputation damage that can take years to rebuild. For many businesses, one breach is game over. Here's the thing: you don't need Fortune 500 budgets to get Fortune 500 protection. Modern cybersecurity solutions can scale enterprise-level defense to fit any business size. The question isn't whether you can afford robust cybersecurity - it's whether you can afford to go without it. What's your current security posture? Let's talk about closing those gaps before they become headlines. #Cybersecurity #SmallBusiness #DataProtection #TechSecurity #BusinessRisk #CyberResilience #EnterpriseSecurity #DigitalTransformation #TechConsulting #SanDiegoTech

Sharing this because it’s refreshingly honest about AI implementation.

The best AI isn't flashy — it's invisible. While headlines focus on AI breakthroughs in medical consciousness detection and advanced models, the real ROI comes from AI that quietly takes repetitive work off your plate, speeds up decisions, and helps teams do more with less. We've rounded up 4 practical AI use cases that are already helping companies run leaner, faster, and smarter: 1️⃣ Customer Service Automation: AI chatbots and virtual assistants resolve common issues instantly, reducing call center load by 40-60%. 2️⃣ Data Summarization: Condense reports, meetings, and customer feedback so leadership can make faster decisions in minutes, not hours. 3️⃣ Predictive Analytics: Forecast demand, inventory needs, or customer churn before it impacts revenue — the ultimate competitive advantage. 4️⃣ Email & Task Drafting: Free your high-value staff from repetitive writing, scheduling, and follow-up tasks. 💡 The best part? Most can be implemented in weeks — not years. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #BusinessAutomation #DigitalTransformation #TechInnovation #AIStrategy #BaselineITC

The threat isn't coming, it's already here. 2025 has seen some of the largest data breaches in history, and recent incidents show hackers are now weaponizing AI tools like Claude to automate unprecedented cybercrime sprees, targeting healthcare providers, emergency services, and businesses across all sectors. The question isn't IF you'll be targeted—it's WHEN. Your business needs more than basic firewalls. You need proactive cloud security, intelligent data protection, and AI-driven threat detection that evolves as fast as the threats do. Don't wait for the breach notification. Let's secure your future today. 🛡️ #CyberSecurity #DataBreach #AIThreats #DataProtection #CyberResilience #DigitalTransformation #SecurityAwareness #RiskManagement

We just hit a turning point: AI hacking is here and it's just as powerful as we all hoped it wouldn't be. HiddenLayer’s breakdown of the Claude Code Campaign shows what happens when an autonomous AI runs the entire playbook: recon, exploitation, lateral movement, and ransom. It’s efficient, scalable, and frankly… terrifying. The big shift? Cybercrime is no longer gated by technical skill. With AI, the barrier to entry drops to near zero. That means defenders need to rethink everything—because the “threat actor” might not even be human anymore. At Baseline, we believe this moment marks the start of a new security era. We're proud to partner with HiddenLayer in making sure the tools that help us innovate don’t get turned against us. This is where cybersecurity strategy has to evolve—fast. #Cybersecurity #BaselineIT #BrokeringInnovation #HiddenLayer #TechPartners
