Archway Computer: The Newest Summit Partner
Archway Computer specializes as an MSP for insurance agencies, working with customers across the United States.
They were founded in 2011 and have had one goal from the very beginning: to help insurance agencies get the most out of their computer hardware and software. Archway delivers unparalleled, secure managed IT Services, strategically designed and supported by a team of proven, experienced IT engineers, and technical staff. At Archway, they understand insurance agencies rely on fast, efficient service and communications at all times.
Their offerings include Managed IT Services, VoIP, and Security and Compliance (including security via DNS through DNSFilter!). Their President, Brad Ruben, hosts “Brad’s Blog” on the Archway Computer site where he shares whatever he wants to write about. Sometimes it’s critical security updates that insurance agencies need to be aware of, tips and commentary on digital trends—but sometimes it’s about the totally non-technical book he’s reading or a response to an article he read on “How to keep your home spotless.”
Insurance is an industry that’s been around for a long time, which means the infrastructure tends to be old. There are holdovers from the ‘60s that still need updating, but the team at Archway Computer are experts with over 10 years of experience building IT and security stacks that fit the needs of independent insurance agencies.
DNSFilter is a fit for their secure DNS needs since it works with varied IT setups and resolves DNS requests without latency.
The Archway Computer Approach to DNSFilter
At Archway, they don’t see DNS threat protection as an add-on for their clients. It’s integral to their security stack. That means every single IT customer is opted into DNSFilter from the beginning. Archway Computer has a template they send customers explaining the benefits of DNS security where they do give their customers the option to opt out—but the majority do not, because once they read the benefits they immediately see the value.
Insurance is a critical industry that needs protection, as noted by Archway Computer’s Product Procurement Specialist, Walter Harry: With insurance, a breach of sensitive data is a really, really big deal. These can be existential events to an agency.”

Archway Computer will receive the coveted Summit badge, a permanent feature on the DNSFilter website, a seat on the company’s beta testing council, and social media promotion throughout the quarter.

Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
The term “artificial intelligence (AI)” was first coined in 1956. While progress stalled for many years, we can thank IBM for sparking real interest in AI as viable technology: First in 1997 when the computer Deep Blue defeated a chess champion and again in 2011 when Watson won Jeopardy!
The Mind Games Behind Cyber Attacks
Hackers have long understood that the most sophisticated firewall is no match for a well-placed psychological trick. While many focus on the technical prowess of cybercriminals, the real magic often lies in their ability to manipulate human behavior. By exploiting our natural tendencies and cognitive biases, hackers can slip past even the most robust security systems. It's not just about cracking codes; it's about cracking the human psyche.
AI and Cybersecurity Risks: Why DNS Filtering is Critical for AI-Driven Workplaces
Artificial intelligence is transforming business operations, automating everything from customer service to data analysis. But with these advancements come new security challenges. AI-driven cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, enabling attackers to automate phishing campaigns, generate malware, and exfiltrate sensitive data at scale. Without proper safeguards, AI tools can unintentionally leak corporate secrets or connect to malicious ...
