Cybercriminals exploit holiday distractions and reduced IT staffing with increased attacks. Learn essential steps to protect your business during the season’s heightened security risks.
Article
Between festive parties and year-end deadlines, cybercriminals are gearing up for their busiest season. With reduced IT staffing and distracted employees, your company could be more vulnerable than ever.
Consider this: Last holiday season saw a 30% spike in ransomware attacks. That donation request in your inbox? It could be a carefully crafted phishing scam. Those “urgent” vendor invoices? Potential malware triggers.
The reality is simple:
• Reduced IT staff monitoring
• Rushed employees more likely to click suspicious links
• Surge in holiday-themed phishing attempts
• Increased remote work on unsecured networks
Your business can’t afford to let holiday cheer compromise security. Here’s how to stay protected:
✓ Implement automated threat detection
✓ Deploy holiday-specific security training
✓ Review access controls and cloud configurations
✓ Set up emergency response protocols
