Smishing attacks are getting more realistic.

If you don't know what smishing is, it's basically phishing, but through text messages. The goal is to get your login info or credit card numbers.

It used to be easy to spot these, but scammers have upgraded their tactics:

- They use your real name so the message feels personal. The links look real.
- They often use HTTPS, so the little padlock icon doesn't guarantee a site is safe anymore.
- They time the texts to match real events like tax season or holiday deliveries.
- Some even try to get you to download a fake app or call a bogus support number.

The best thing to do is never click a link in a text message, even if it looks urgent.

If you are worried about an account, just open your official bank app or type the website in yourself. If there is an actual problem, the alert will be there.

You waste time receiving, configuring, and shipping laptops to remote employees.

When hiring remote staff, the traditional IT process requires shipping new hardware to a central office, manually installing software, configuring security settings, and shipping the device a second time to the employee.

These delays onboarding and doubles shipping costs.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Windows Autopilot.

You purchase hardware from a vendor and instruct them to ship it directly to the new employee.

When the employee powers on the device, connects to Wi-Fi, and enters their company email address, Autopilot automatically connects to your Microsoft tenant.

It applies your specific security policies, installs required applications, and configures the desktop environment automatically.

The device is fully configured for business use without an IT administrator ever physically touching the hardware.
