As 2026 approaches, many businesses are considering changes they can make to start the new year strong. Setting a few practical IT resolutions for 2026 can help to improve your tech’s security, reliability and performance without being complicated or costly.
As businesses wind down for Christmas with quieter offices and more remote working, cyber criminals become more active, so Edmondson’s helps ensure your business stays secure throughout the festive period.
Winter is the riskiest season for cyber attacks, with spikes around Black Friday, Christmas and the New Year. With busy workloads and an increase in online shopping, cyber criminals will look to exploit the chaos, making it vital for businesses to understand the risks and stay protected.
Cyber criminals are increasingly using typosquatting to trick staff into entering login details on fake Microsoft sites that look almost identical to the real ones. By understanding how these spoofed domains work and how to spot them, businesses can greatly reduce the risk of data theft and account compromise.
Cyber threats are becoming more advanced as we approach 2026, so outdated security habits are no longer enough to keep data, staff and systems safe. By reviewing the key cybersecurity essentials now, businesses can stay ahead of new threats and strengthen their protection against common attacks.
Winter creates a wide range of challenges for businesses, and tech is no exception. Cold weather, power cuts and increased cyber threats can all lead to disruption if your business isn’t prepared.
As the year wraps up, it’s the ideal time to plan budgets and make smart investments that will strengthen your business in 2026. With support from Edmondson’s and funding options like the Digital Growth Voucher, you can upgrade your IT affordably to boost efficiency, security and long-term growth.
Energy-efficient hardware, cloud computing and virtualisation can all help companies go greener while boosting performance and saving money.
Remote working is now a normal part of business, but it brings greater security risks as staff access company data from different locations and devices. Protecting your business data requires the right systems and support to keep everything secure.
Technology evolves quickly, and outdated IT can hurt productivity, security, and growth. However, with the right strategy and expert support, businesses can modernise their systems affordably and achieve strong long-term value.
