Holiday Cybersecurity Safety: Protect Your Business Before the Break

December 11, 2025 10:00 AM - 10:00 AM (EST)

Description

WEBINAR: The Holiday Cyber Threats Every Business Owner Needs to Know

Cyber criminals treat the holiday season like their Super Bowl—and small to mid-sized businesses are their #1 target. As staff travel, work from home, and let their guard down, attacks spike dramatically.

Join us for a fast-paced, eye-opening session led by a cybersecurity expert who works directly with SMBs under attack. We’ll break down what’s really happening out there—using plain language, real examples, and practical steps you can take right away.

What we’ll cover:

1. How Hackers Break In During the Holidays

Learn how businesses get hit even when they think they’re protected:

  • “MFA fatigue” attacks where employees are tricked into approving login requests
  • Hackers slipping into Microsoft 365 or other cloud accounts
  • Password-testing attacks that use old leaks
  • After-hours ransomware—timed for evenings, weekends, and holidays

2. Real Holiday Phishing Scams to Watch For

We’ll show actual examples of holiday-season scams, including:

  • AI-written emails that look completely legitimate
  • Fake Microsoft or SharePoint messages asking you to “view a file”
  • Fake password reset warnings
  • Delivery scams pretending to be UPS or Canada Post
  • These aren’t the obvious scams you’re used to—today’s versions fool even tech-savvy staff.

3. The Must-Have Security Controls Every SMB Needs in 2025

We’ll explain—simply—why basic MFA isn’t enough anymore, and what modern protection actually looks like:

  • Smart access rules that block risky sign-ins
  • Built-in Microsoft tools that flag suspicious activity
  • Ensuring devices meet safety standards before connecting

4. The Hidden Risks in Home Wi-Fi, Travel Laptops & Smart Devices

When staff work from home or on the road, your business is exposed in ways most owners never imagine:

  • Unpatched laptops that hackers can break into in minutes
  • VPN issues that leave “secure” connections not so secure
  • Smart home gadgets (like baby monitors or TVs) acting as weak points
  • Why employees should update devices before they go on holidays

Why Attend?

If you’re responsible for protecting your business—even if you’re not technical—this session will give you the awareness and tools you need to avoid becoming a holiday cyber-statistic.

Clear advice. Real examples. Actionable next steps.

Because the hackers are coming—let’s make sure you’re ready.
