The story
🚨 Real talk: While you’re rocking around the Christmas tree, cyber threats are having their own holiday party. Phishing scams jump 150% during the festive season, and ransomware’s up 24% from last year. Yikes!
Here’s the not-so-jolly truth: Your seasonal rush + distracted teams = hacker paradise. And those compliance regulations? They don’t take a holiday break.
Quick reality check:
✨ MFA stops 99% of attacks [but you’d be shocked how many skip this step]
✨ Seasonal staff need extra security training [because one click can ruin Christmas]
✨ E-commerce surges = more opportunities for the bad guys
Fun fact: Cyber attacks spike 30% during the holidays. It’s like Black Friday for hackers!
Before you dive into that eggnog, ask yourself:
• Is your security actually up to code?
• Are you following all those fun regulations [GDPR, CCPA]?
• Could your company survive a holiday hack?
