The rush of the holiday period is upon us. Good time to refresh all employees with #cybersecurityawareness training. Distractions, end of year deadlines, rushing through email communications, may cost you a breach. Pause, think, then click. #datasecurity #ransomware #phishing

Recently a major hospitality business was fined, following a breach, for not having proper safeguards in place. One failure was insufficient monitoring of privileged accounts. Proper controls in place will alert your #cybersecurity team of suspicious activity. #infosec #endpoints

Security managers need to be aware of all privilege accounts. Hackers routinely target admin accounts credentials seeking to move laterally and undetected within the enterprise. Disable unnecessary accounts and default maintenance passwords. #infosec #cybersecurityawareness

Businesses should be mindful of not just the current #vulnerabilities being exploited by hackers, but also the #cyberthreats that are being leveraged at any given time. This requires businesses to be flexible with resources and #CyberSecurity budgets. How valuable is your data?
