Cybercriminals exploit holiday distractions with sophisticated scams. Learn 3 key measures to protect your business during peak cyber threat season.
Article
The holidays bring more than just festive cheer – they usher in peak season for cyber threats.
While employees juggle year-end deadlines and holiday shopping, cybercriminals capitalize on the distraction. They’re deploying sophisticated phishing scams masked as holiday deals and targeting companies with ransomware during high-traffic periods like Black Friday.
The risk extends beyond retail. With hybrid work environments now standard, unsecured networks and personal devices create vulnerabilities. One employee clicking a malicious link while holiday shopping can compromise your entire system.
Three critical protective measures:
• Regular phishing simulations to train employees on spotting scams
• Multi-factor authentication and automated identity management
• Advanced endpoint detection and response \(EDR\) tools
Don’t wait to strengthen your defenses. While many security teams begin holiday preparations months ahead, you can still take action now to protect your organization.
