Is your business ready for the holiday cyberattack surge?
The numbers are clear: cybercrime spikes during the holiday season. While you’re managing seasonal rushes and year-end activities, hackers are counting on your distraction.
Consider this:
• Phishing attempts jump 400% during the holiday season
• Nearly half of all ransomware attacks target U.S. retailers
• A single compromised password can cost your business thousands
Your risk factors multiply when:
• Seasonal staff lack security training
• IT teams operate with reduced holiday coverage
• Systems run without critical updates
• Employees rush through security protocols
The threat is real, but vulnerability isn’t inevitable. Start with these essential steps:
1. Update all system software immediately
2. Enable multi-factor authentication
3. Train staff on phishing awareness
4. Implement strong password policies
