About NerdNotes

NerdNotes is a weekly brief on technology, cybersecurity, productivity, and business resilience for owners of small and mid-sized businesses — written in plain language, without the jargon or the sales pitch.

Who writes it

NerdNotes is written by Zach Prystash, Vice President & General Manager of NerdsToGo Pittsburgh. Every edition comes out of real work: the questions business owners ask, the incidents we help them recover from, and the decisions that quietly determine whether technology is an asset or a liability.

What it covers

• Cybersecurity — the controls that actually reduce risk for a business with 10 to 200 employees.
• Productivity — tools and habits that give hours back to your team.
• Business resilience — backups, continuity, and what happens the day something breaks.
• Technology decisions — how to evaluate what you are being sold.
