Ho-Ho-Hold on to your sleighs, as we jingle into the holiday season weekend. It’s time to sprinkle some festive cheer on a topic that’s crucial year-round: cybersecurity. At ProMiles Cyber, we’re decking the halls with bits and bytes to keep your digital assets safe and sound.
Did you know that during the holiday season, threat actors are in the mood to put gifts under their trees? According to Darktrace and its data, there is a 70% increase in cyber threats, specifically around ransomware, during November and December. While you’re busy checking your list, cybercriminals are checking for vulnerabilities in your network.
At ProMiles Cyber, we don’t just leave cookies and milk out for Santa; we leave well-tested firewalls and MDR to stop threat actors. Our 24/7 monitoring is like Rudolph’s red nose, guiding your business through the foggy winter of cyber risks. So, you can focus on the holiday spirit and give coal to the bad guys.
Update your systems: Ensure your software is more up-to-date than this year’s top toys. Many a vulnerability can lead to direct exploitation of systems. Keeping them up to date is a low-cost solution with high returns.
Train your elves…err, employees: Educate your team on the latest phishing scams disguised as holiday offers. Most attacks start with phishing as a means to gain credentials or entry into a network or system. Having employees that are well-trained reduces the likelihood that these attacks are successful.
Secure your load: Protect your email and critical data as tightly as you wrap your secret Santa gifts. If you are not sure what you’re doing to protect your email communications, it never hurts to ask, stopping phishing or malware before it ever gets to your inbox greatly reduces the potential for successful phishing attacks.
As we count down to the New Year, let’s make a resolution together to prioritize cybersecurity. With Promiles Cyber by your side, you can jingle all the way to a secure and prosperous 2024. Remember, ProMiles Cyber solutions are the best gift you can give your business this holiday season!
