Ransomware has become a significant hazard to enterprises globally, with attackers evolving their methods to cause more disruption and demand higher payouts. For business owners and leaders, staying ahead of these threats is critical to protecting their organizations.

Many small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs) rely on password managers to simplify and secure their authentication processes, but these tools are now under attack. A recent study revealed a startling rise in malware targeting password managers, with cybercriminals adapting their tactics and growing more sophisticated by the day.

Buying antivirus software isn’t exactly a thrilling task, but running a small or medium-sized business (SMB) is hard enough without worrying about ransomware or phishing scams. The right antivirus can keep your devices safe, your business data secure, and your mind at ease.

Despite decades of phishing attacks stealing information and bringing financial devastation to countless people and organizations, these online attacks continue to grow in number and sophistication. As people become more dependent on the internet, they trust it and the information they get from it far more than they should.

While it’s easy to blame cyberattacks on sophisticated hacking, the truth is that many attackers rely on social engineering — a craft of deception designed to manipulate people into giving up sensitive information or access. The scary part? It’s not just high-tech companies that get targeted, it’s all of us.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools are revolutionizing the way small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) operate, offering unparalleled convenience and scalability. But behind this ease lies a growing risk: cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could threaten a business’s future.

From cloud solutions to email services to VoIP, technology underpins every aspect of running modern businesses. However, the very technology that drives business forward also tends to expose another critical aspect of business operations to risk: data.

Cybercrime is more sophisticated and persistent than ever, putting small businesses at significant risk of attack. The new year offers a fresh start, and what better way to begin than by prioritizing your business’s cybersecurity? Below are seven actionable resolutions to help you protect your data, your customers, and your reputation in the coming year.

Data is the lifeblood of businesses, as it fuels operations, facilitates communication, and provides valuable insights for strategic decision-making. However, data is also vulnerable to various physical and digital threats. Natural disasters, cyberattacks, hardware failures, and human error can all lead to data loss or corruption.

Online shopping offers unmatched convenience, but it also comes with risks. Cybercriminals ramp up their efforts during this time of year, targeting holiday shoppers with scams, phishing attacks, and fraudulent deals. The good news? You don’t have to be a tech expert to shop safely online.
