Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be dry.

At Info Advantage we believe that learning about today’s most pressing digital threats can be both practical and memorable—especially when paired with something bold and local. That’s why we’re teaming up with Rochester’s own Rohrbach Brewing Company to launch Brews & Cyber Threats, a blog series that blends cybersecurity education with craft beer culture.

Each week, we’ll spotlight a major cyber threat facing small and mid-sized businesses, including:

• Phishing & Social Engineering – Deceptive messages designed to trick employees into clicking malicious links or sharing sensitive data.

• Ransomware – Aggressive malware that locks your systems and demands payment, often crippling operations.

• Business Email Compromise (BEC) – Scams that impersonate trusted contacts to manipulate financial transactions or steal information.

• Insider Threats – Risks from within your organization, whether accidental, compromised, or malicious.

• Cloud Misconfigurations – Silent but dangerous setup errors that leave your data exposed to unauthorized access.

These threats are real, evolving, and increasingly targeting small businesses. But with the right awareness and tools, they’re also preventable.

Each blog will break down one threat in plain language, offer actionable advice, and use a creative pairing to help the lesson stick. Then, we’ll bring it all together at our Cybersecurity & Craft Beer Tasting Event this October at Rohrbach Brewing Company featuring the full flight of beers, expert insights, food, swag, and more.

Stay tuned. Because staying secure should never leave a bad taste.
