NetGain Technologies

We're excited to share that David Mauro, VP of Strategic Growth at NetGain Technologies, had the opportunity to speak at the Ohio Association of Community Health Centers (OACHC) 2026 Fall Conference in Columbus, Ohio.

David's session, AI Governance and Smart Prompting in Healthcare, brought practical guidance to health center leaders, clinicians, and administrators navigating how AI fits into community health and primary care, safely and responsibly.

It was great meeting so many dedicated healthcare leaders and hearing firsthand how community health centers across Ohio are thinking about AI. Thank you to OACHC for the opportunity, and congratulations to David on representing NetGain at this year's conference.

Happy First Day of Fall!

Don't get caught up in pumpkin spice, while your emails are in danger.

Phishing emails don't take a season off. Scammers use urgency (fake deadlines, account lockouts, "verify now" links) to get you to click before you think. This one asks for a password reset in 24 hours. Real IT requests won't pressure you like that!

Before you click, check the sender's domain, ask yourself if the email was expected, and when in doubt, contact IT directly instead of using the link in the email.

Stay warm, stay cozy, stay alert. 🍂

Q3 is a good checkpoint to ask: What's actually changing for your business, not just in the news?

Three shifts worth watching if you run a small or mid-sized business:

01 — AI
It's already in your daily work. The question is whether you have a policy for it.

02 — Cybersecurity
Smaller businesses are bigger targets, not smaller ones. When did you last review your defenses?

03 — Backups
An untested backup is a guess. Recovery time matters as much as the data itself.

None of these require a complete overhaul. They require a real conversation about where your business stands right now.

What's on your radar for Q3?

Your employees are already using AI at work. The real question is whether anyone in the business actually knows how.

Most small and mid-sized businesses didn't roll out AI on purpose. It showed up through spreadsheets, chatbots, and someone's phone, faster than anyone could write a policy for it.

Walk through where AI is genuinely earning its place in a small business right now, where it's worth pumping the brakes before it touches client data or trust, and how to roll it out in a way that doesn't create a bigger headache than the one it was supposed to solve.

If your team can't answer these AI questions with confidence, it's worth a conversation.

Our AI Lunch & Learn Roadshow has traveled to five cities this year, and now we're bringing it to you, wherever you are.

On September 11th, we pause to honor the lives lost and the countless individuals whose lives changed forever. We also want to extend a special thank you to the first responders who showed up that day, and to those who continue to serve and protect our communities every day since.

We will never forget.

We're proud to share that NetGain Technologies was recognized once again by the St. Louis Business Journal as one of the largest IT firms in St. Louis. Being a member of this list means NetGain provides some of the most support hours to local businesses in St. Louis.

Since 1984, NetGain has grown from a single office to six locations across five states, helping businesses in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and professional services build stronger IT and cybersecurity foundations. This recognition reflects the work our team puts in every day for our clients, and the trust they place in us as a strategic partner rather than just a vendor.

Thank you to our clients, partners, and team for making this possible.

Happy Labor Day!

Thank you to all who make a difference through their work each day. Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved holiday.

Tailgates, rivalries, and apparently a lot of fake stadium WiFi.

Before you head to the game, here are a few security habits worth packing along with your tailgate chair.

🛜Verify before connecting to public WiFi.
Stadiums often post the official WiFi network name on signage or the gameday app. A lookalike hotspot with a similar name is one of the easiest ways for someone to see what you're doing on your phone once you're connected.

🎫Buy tickets through the official ticketing partner.
A "friend selling extras" post in a fan group is a common setup for a ticket that never arrives. If a deal feels rushed or the seller avoids a verified platform, it could be a scam.

📵Turn off Bluetooth and AirDrop discovery in crowded areas.
Packed stadiums are a common setting for unsolicited file-share prompts and Bluetooth-based scams. Discoverable-to-everyone is rarely a setting you need on for a game.

🤳Think before you scan QR codes on signage.
A QR code stuck on top of a parking sign or a "scan for team gear" flyer is an easy way to point someone to a fake site. Official codes are usually printed as part of the sign, not added after the fact.

None of this should slow down for game time! It keeps the only thing you’re worried about losing being the game (especially if you’re a Razorbacks fan).

AI is changing the breach equation, and not in your favor.

New numbers from IBM's latest Cost of a Data Breach Report shows organizations are taking longer to catch and recover from breaches, and AI-driven attacks are only accelerating the problem. Many of the companies getting hit hardest have no AI governance policy in place at all.

If your business is adopting AI without a plan to govern it, the graphic above shows why that gap matters. Let's talk about closing it.
