Cybercriminals don’t take vacations, and in fact, they often ramp up attacks when they know your team is distracted or out of office. Summer is a peak time for phishing, business email compromise, and social engineering. Here’s why you should be extra alert this season and how to protect your business.
Summer months often see a spike in cyber threats. Learn why and how your business can stay protected during vacation season.
Here’s how we help:
Why Cyber Threats Increase During Summer
- Staff turnover and PTO lead to process gaps
- Fewer eyes on inboxes makes phishing more effective
- Temporary workers or interns may not be fully trained
- Teams rely more on mobile or remote access
Common Summer Scams to Watch Out For
- Fake invoice emails posing as vendors
- “Urgent” messages appearing to come from execs who are traveling
- Travel-themed phishing campaigns
- Malware hidden in seemingly harmless email attachments
How to Stay Protected
- Enable multi-factor authentication across accounts
- Train staff on seasonal phishing tactics
- Set up automatic alerts for suspicious login attempts
- Review and reinforce VPN and remote access policies
- Monitor endpoints and email traffic for unusual behavior
