Okay, I know, Christmas is over, but I couldn’t help myself. Besides most people listen to Christmas music until the New Year. We have talked a lot about various e-mail security from phishing to making sure you have a good password. Sometimes e-mails are just a plain hoax even though it came from an e-mail address you might have already receieved legitimate e-mail from. The latest in the news? Cnet reports that a bogus e-mail was sent to New York Times subscribers. The e-mail informed the subscribers that their subscription has been canceled and they would receive up to 50% off if they renewed. Once New York Times learned of the hoax e-mail they responded via Twitter, informing everyone it was a fake. Here is the original e-mail:

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
