About Cyberkite blog

“Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” — Christian Lange

Don’t let technology be your master.

In a world where digital threats are rising and tech is becoming more complex, my goal is to help you master technology so it works for you, not against you.

Cyberkite blog is your go-to source for smart technology and cybersecurity insights, specifically tailored for small businesses.

Who writes this?

Headshot of Michael Plis, Cyberkite founder, smiling and wearing glasses.

I am Michael Plis, a technology and cybersecurity professional with over 20 years of experience. You can find me on LinkedIn to verify my background and professional updates

I offer unique insights into the benefits and risks of the digital world, often viewing complex technical issues through a neurodivergent perspective. This allows me to spot patterns and solutions that others might miss. I am also a strong advocate for creating business environments that promote good mental health alongside digital safety.

Cyberkite blog is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Neurodiversity & AI Assistance: As a neurodiverse creator, sometimes I utilize voice typing and AI tools to assist in writing, organizing, and editing my articles. These tools help me deliver the best possible content to you. However, all opinions, strategy, and technical advice are 100% based on my personal industry experience and continuous learning from subject matter experts.
