Mr. Underwood began his IT career in 1991 in the US Navy working on critical military computer systems. He grew his computer and networking knowledge through a number of different IT jobs from desktop support all the way up to leading the Network Engineering organization of a multi-billion dollar international company. Mr Underwood was recognized as Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert [\#7112](https://connect.directive.com/v4_6_release/services/system_io/Service/fv_sr100_request.rails?service_recid=7112&companyName=Dti) in March of 2001 and in 2022 he achieved the lifetime status of Cisco CCIE Emeritus [ ![Tony Underwood](https://cambiumdata.com/images/easyblog_avatar/1000002_404_tony-blog.jpg) ](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/blogger/tony-underwood) ## [The True Cost of Waiting for a Computer to Die](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/the-true-cost-of-waiting-for-a-computer-to-die) Monday, 08 June 2026 [Tony Underwood](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/blogger/tony-underwood) [Cambium Data Blog](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/categories/blog) [Technology](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/categories/technology) [ ![The True Cost of Waiting for a Computer to Die](https://cambiumdata.com/images/easyblog_shared/June_2026/06-08-26/b2ap3_large_ComputerDie_53592405_400.jpg) ](https://cambiumdata.com/blog/the-true-cost-of-waiting-for-a-computer-to-die "The True Cost of Waiting for a Computer to Die") When a business computer takes several minutes to boot up or freezes during a meeting, it directly impacts the bottom line. Sluggish hardware causes employees to lose valuable minutes every single day. This lost time quickly accumulates into a substantial financial loss. If ten employees lose fifteen minutes each day to slow technology, that totals over sixty hours of wasted payroll every month. A business owner ends up paying staff to wait for technology to respond, which hinders overall operational efficiency.

Nowadays, phishing attacks are sophisticated, AI-generated lures that know just how to trick even the most vigilant employees. To keep your business from becoming just another statistic in the growing number of at-risk organizations, you need to know the difference between legitimate messages and the fake ones, and that starts by knowing what to look for.

After all, slow connections, login issues, and other problems can and do exacerbate burnout, leading to turnover. Let’s take a moment to consider how technology can help the modern HR department in its daily operations.

Despite what you may assume, it likely isn’t because they’re being lazy or assembling in an act of quiet defiance. They may just be burnt out. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get excited about new technologies, especially in the workplace. For your team members, it amounts to just another thing they have to juggle.

Internal communications can make or break profitability, especially if they fail. Disconnected files and ongoing email chains often translate to duplicated efforts and missed deadlines or opportunities. Let’s talk about how you can avoid the kind of friction that hinders your ability to collaborate and holds back your potential for success.

This makes it a hugely valuable asset. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most vulnerable. We’ve reached a point where the cybersecurity protections most have relied on for years—things like basic antivirus and its ilk—just aren’t enough to properly protect against modern attacks and their ramifications. To really protect your business, you need protections like Managed Detection and Response.

It’s easy for leadership teams to fall victim to the “shiny object syndrome,” where they adopt a new tool only to find it’s not seeing any use after six months. New technology should never be a solution looking for a problem—instead, it should be a precision tool to fix a specific friction point in your business.

To build a sustainable partnership, your contract must be a balanced document that rewards proactive management and provides clear accountability for your bottom line.

In the worst situation, it's a lone external drive humming in the corner or a basic cloud sync. While these are good first steps, they often harbor a hidden danger: a single point of failure. If your office faces a fire, that external drive is toast. If a staff member accidentally wipes a folder and it instantly syncs to the cloud, your data could vanish before you even realize it's gone. To build a strategy you can actually sleep on, we use the 3-2-1-1 Rule.

Microsoft ignited the generative AI gold rush with its massive investment in OpenAI, but a growing internal rift suggests the tech giant might be tripping over its own feet. While the public sees a polished AI companion, the view from inside Redmond is significantly more chaotic.

Or, is there a possibility that they are actually undercutting your team’s productivity? The trouble with all these inclusive platforms is that they include more than you might realize… and as such, you’re likely investing in duplicate functionality. This is why it is so important to be able to say no, or to have someone in your corner who can.

Make no mistake, this task is a critical one to complete for the sake of your security and, ultimately, your reputation and success. Let’s go over how this situation arises and discuss how to avoid it through identity governance.

You’re taking a group of people with wildly different personalities, throwing them together for 40+ hours a week, and asking them to act like a cohesive unit. It’s a mix of professional deadlines and how about those Mets? water-cooler talk. Whether your office is a suite downtown or a series of icons on a taskbar, that blend of personal and professional is healthy. We’re social creatures, after all… but when those two worlds bleed into each other without any rules, things get messy—and I’m not just talking about hurt feelings. I’m talking about security risks that could cost you $15,000 (or much, much more).

If the answer is no, then you have work to do getting your data backup systems into a better place. Most small businesses believe that having a backup running is the same as their data being safe, but that’s simply untrue. Having a backup is half the battle; making sure the backup works is another story.
