Our team had the opportunity to attend a partnership luncheon with UNC Basketball Coach Hubert Davis, Jones Angell, and Bubba Cunningham on the court at the Dean E. Smith Center. 🏀

It was an energizing conversation about the evolving landscape of college athletics, this year’s basketball program, and how UNC continues to adapt to the realities of collegiate sports while maintaining the core purpose of helping college athletes thrive while in school and beyond.

We’re thankful to have been able to bring along a few clients and join fellow partners for this behind-the-scenes experience! 💙🤝🧡

We’re proud to support Carolina Athletics! 🧡🩵🏀

Last week marked the official launch of our partnership with Pax8 and Carolina Athletics, celebrated on the iconic Roy Williams Court at the Dean E. Smith Center.

This collaboration reflects something bigger than a game, it’s about community, leadership, and empowering organizations across the Southeast with secure, modern technology.

At WorkSmart, we believe in doing business the right way:
✔ people-first
✔ excellence-driven
✔ built on trust and long-term relationships

Partnering with Pax8 and supporting Carolina Athletics is a natural extension of those values.

We’re excited for the season ahead and the opportunities it brings to connect, grow, and uplift the communities we serve.

🖼️ Even the Louvre wasn’t prepared.

After thieves stole jewelry from a secured area, investigators found the museum’s surveillance system ran on Windows Server 2003 - with the password “louvre.”

That’s right. A system guarding 1,300 cameras protecting priceless art and artifacts was relying on early-2000s tech.

It’s a powerful reminder: you don’t have to be hacked to be vulnerable.
Outdated systems and weak passwords make any organization an easy target.

🛡️ At WorkSmart, we help businesses stay protected with proactive cybersecurity, real-time monitoring, and smart IT strategy - so you can focus on what matters most.
