At Network Services Group, our IT support specialists have spent the year helping small Ann Arbor businesses stay secure, efficient, and prepared for change. Continuing from our last blog, here are THREE MORE newsworthy topics from 2025:

Smarter Security Through Partnership: NSG + Huntress


This year, we announced our exciting partnership with Huntress, a leader in managed cybersecurity solutions. Their 24/7 email monitoring and security awareness training help our clients protect against phishing and other cyber threats. Together, NSG and Huntress deliver powerful, enterprise-level protection designed for small businesses.

Remote Monitoring and Maintenance (RMM)


Prevention is the best protection. Our RMM plans automatically monitor your systems for issues like low disk space, failing hardware, or high CPU usage. That means we often fix problems before you even know they exist—keeping your business running without interruption.

Don’t Wait: The End of Windows 10 Support is Here


One of the most critical updates this year has been Microsoft’s end of support for Windows 10, which officially took place on October 14, 2025. As of that date, Windows 10 systems have stopped receiving security updates, leaving them vulnerable to cyberattacks.

If your business still runs Windows 10—or older servers like Windows Server 2016—now is the time to act. We can help you:

  • Upgrade to Windows 11 or replace outdated systems
  • Explore extended support options (like 0Patch)
  • Plan ahead to avoid supply chain delays and year-end rushes

Don’t wait until the deadline—upgrades and replacements take time, and late-year demand can make scheduling more difficult.

Year in Review: 3 Pieces of IT Wisdom from NSG

The year is almost over! Is your business ready for 2026?

At Network Services Group, our IT support specialists have spent the year helping small Ann Arbor businesses stay secure, efficient, and prepared for change. Here are three newsworthy topics from 2025:

Data Protection: Cloud Storage Isn’t a Backup


One of our most important reminders this year: redundancy is not the same as a backup. Cloud services like Microsoft OneDrive and AWS offer convenience, but they don’t guarantee full data recovery after a cyberattack, accidental deletion, or account issue. We’ve helped clients put true, independent backup systems in place to protect their valuable data.

Cybersecurity Takes Center Stage


Cybersecurity has been one of the biggest themes of 2025—and for good reason. From global ransomware incidents like the Ingram Micro SafePay attack to the growing threats facing small businesses, we’ve seen how vital proactive protection really is.

Clients rely on NSG for:

  • Multi-layered cybersecurity defenses
  • Expert system monitoring and maintenance
  • Seamless upgrades from outdated software
  • Employee training and phishing awareness

IT + Cybersecurity: A Powerful Combo


We know that IT and cybersecurity aren’t separate—they work best together. Our support specialists take a comprehensive approach that includes system patching, firewalls, antivirus protection, disaster recovery, and more. Because keeping your tech running smoothly also means keeping it safe.
