November is here, and with it the season of gratitude. It's also the time of year when cybercriminals are most profitable - the holidays create exactly the conditions they need: urgency, volume and people clicking first and thinking later.
That's the thread running through November's Diamond Times. We break down five holiday scams that spike every year - from fake "holiday bonus" emails and the gift card con targeting the C-suite, to too-good-to-be-true Black Friday deals and year-end invoices that aren't what they seem. The defense isn't a new tool - it's a team that knows the pattern and pauses before acting.
We're also looking ahead. We recap the NJSBDC AI for Small Business Conference in Mercer County, share why preparation beats panic when it comes to leading your team in the age of AI, and lay out the five questions every leadership team should answer before finalizing the 2027 tech budget.
