Cyber threats don’t take holidays. Is your business protected?
5 holiday season vulnerabilities you can’t ignore:
1. Holiday Phishing Surge
‘Tis the season for deceptive emails. Fake gift cards and shipping updates flood inboxes, with phishing attacks jumping 46% during holidays. Most breaches start with a single click from an untrained employee.
2. Seasonal Staff Risks
78% of temporary workers receive zero security training. With holiday rushes and skeleton crews, your data security shouldn’t depend on chance. Proper training is essential.
3. Vendor Vulnerabilities
Your security is only as strong as your weakest vendor. Third-party breaches are rising, especially during peak seasons when suppliers handle more of your sensitive data.
4. Access Control Chaos
Holiday schedules mean staff changes and system access shuffles. Without proper identity management, you’re leaving doors open to cyber criminals.
5. Financial Targeting
Hackers follow the money, and holiday seasons mean more transactions. Every unprotected payment point is an opportunity for cyber theft.
Don’t let your company become a cautionary tale. Critical Update helps protect your business with custom security strategies, employee training, and comprehensive system monitoring.
