  Dive into Building an App

  Aug 19, 202620 minS5

  Kyle (CEO/president) and Matthew (senior developer) recap a technical webinar on building custom applications and how new tools and AI have made proving, validating, and delivering apps more accessible. Matthew’s key takeaway is boosting confidence for those intimidated to start, offering a primer on what questions to ask next and reminding viewers the team can help. They discuss when to involve more technical resources, especially before going company-wide, touching production data, or becoming part of a workflow, so risk, support, and maintenance are addressed. Common roadblocks include the learning curve, rapid tool changes, and needing enough foundational understanding even if you don’t read code. They note AI accelerates strong developers rather than replacing them, improving troubleshooting and output. They expect the webinar’s core principles to remain relevant as tools improve, and encourage experimentation and internal forums for sharing AI learnings. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:08 Webinar Elevator Pitch 01:07 Building Apps Series Recap 02:17 When to Bring Developers 04:37 Common Roadblocks 09:25 AI as Developer Multiplier 13:15 Will It Still Matter 16:31 Just Start Experimenting 17:48 Build an Internal Forum 19:00 Wrap Up and Next Steps Catch the full webinar right here: https://www.citsolutions.net/events/webinars/ai-starter-series/

  Prompting 101

  Aug 12, 202612 minS5

  Cole, CIT’s Power Platform Developer, to recap a recent Prompting 101 webinar focused on CRIT prompting—Context, Role, Interrogation, and Task—and why being specific in each area leads to better AI outputs. Cole explains each CRIT component, highlights common prompting mistakes like over-instructing the AI on how to reach an answer, and discusses how to address bias by explicitly naming it in prompts so the AI can avoid reinforcing it. He also answers how much context is too much, noting that while you can’t give too much in a single prompt, long multi-phase threads can introduce irrelevant context due to model limits. Looking ahead, Cole expects prompting to remain important while evolving toward reusable AI “skills” for consistent outputs such as CIT’s readiness assessment reports. 00:00 Webinar Recap Intro 00:24 CRIT Prompting Framework 02:28 Common Prompting Mistakes 03:37 Bias and Output Steering 05:12 How Much Context Is Too Much 06:21 Future of Prompting Skills 07:40 From Prompts to Skills 11:23 Wrap Up and Next Steps 11:40 Outro Check out the full webinar here: https://www.citsolutions.net/events/webinars/ai-starter-series/

  Navigating AI Policies

  Aug 5, 20267 minS5

  Ann, CIT’s Quality Assurance Analyst, recaps a recent webinar on what an AI policy is, why it matters, and how straightforward it can be to document, implement, and communicate to a team as “bumpers” for responsible AI use. She advises rolling out an AI policy like any other organizational change—routine, transparent communication that frames it as guidance and risk mitigation rather than a crackdown. Ann notes that even as AI tools and workflows evolve and reduce the human-in-the-loop, the core principle should remain: humans are ultimately responsible for outputs and must review results. She encourages leaders to define acceptable risk up front, communicate benefits, and revisit policies at least twice a year or after major changes, assigning ownership to stay ahead of evolving tools and compliance. 00:00 Webinar Recap Intro 00:38 Rolling Out the Policy 02:01 Keeping Humans Accountable 03:24 What Leaders Miss About Risk 05:08 One Year Later Outlook 06:37 Wrap Up Check out the full webinar here: https://www.citsolutions.net/events/webinars/ai-starter-series/

  AI & Cyber Threats

  Jul 23, 202617 minS5

  Nate, Director of Cybersecurity, recaps a webinar on how threat actors weaponize AI to run efficient underground businesses, using it to speed up phishing, malware creation, data parsing after account compromise, and to lower the skill needed for attacks, including deepfakes. He emphasizes AI itself isn’t “bad,” but intent matters, and the best protections are fundamentals: vigilance, validation, and strong financial controls. The discussion covers why deepfakes work—circumstantial timing and emotional manipulation—and why training should focus on core red flags rather than only deepfakes. Practical wins include two-person review for large wire transfers, moving to phishing-resistant MFA/passkeys, watching for “evil proxy” credential pages, setting AI usage guardrails to avoid shadow AI, and creating an incident response plan with clear contacts and insurance details. Nate also predicts maturing AI-driven defense tools becoming more accessible to SMBs. 00:00 Webinar Recap Setup 00:29 AI as Criminal Business 03:40 Deepfakes and Why We Fall 07:26 Quick Wins for Security 09:00 MFA and Evil Proxies 10:37 AI Guardrails Not Bans 12:15 Incident Response Planning 13:26 Future of AI Defense 16:28 Wrap Up and Resources Check out the full series right here! https://www.citsolutions.net/events/webinars/ai-starter-series/

  Healthcare Compliance Updates

  Jul 15, 202626 minS5

  In this episode, Nate, CIT’s director of cybersecurity discusses proposed HIPAA Security Rule overhauls aimed at strengthening healthcare cybersecurity after major breaches and downtime incidents. Nate explains that the vote on the proposed changes was pushed back by one year (to 2027), but organizations should still start planning because implementation is typically required within 180 days of the final rule. Key shifts include moving many controls from “addressable” to “required,” enforcing multi-factor authentication for access to ePHI/EMR systems, requiring encryption in transit and at rest with no exceptions, and strengthening risk analysis and governance with formal documentation, asset inventories, network/data flow mapping, and executive engagement. The proposal also emphasizes incident response with a 72-hour service restoration plan, more frequent vulnerability scanning, annual penetration testing, and third-party assessments. 00:00 HIPAA Rule Update 00:22 Why HIPAA Is Outdated 01:58 Breaches Drive Reform 02:46 Timeline And Delay 04:14 Addressable To Required 04:57 MFA And Encryption Mandates 06:50 Risk Analysis And IR Plan 09:27 Cost And Budget Impact 13:08 Biggest Hurdle MFA 16:33 How It Compares To Others 18:15 What Might Change 21:58 Vendors And Education 23:23 Action Items And Wrap Up Resource: https://www.hipaajournal.com/hipaa-security-rule-update-postponed/
