August is a great time to switch off. Just not your IT security.
During the summer holidays, offices can be a little quieter, projects can slow down, and attention can turn towards time off, so it’s easy for cybersecurity to slip down the priority list.
But cyber criminals don’t take a summer break. Phishing emails, compromised accounts, and outdated software can leave businesses exposed when fewer people are around to spot the warning signs.
So, it’s important not to overlook the basics, from software updates and backups to access permissions and suspicious emails. A quick check of your IT now could help prevent an unwanted surprise when everyone returns to their desks.
