Absolutely—holidays may mean relaxation for us, but for threat actors, it’s prime time to strike. 🚨 With reduced staffing, increased online activity, and distracted teams, organizations are more vulnerable than ever. This is like the 'game of life' on hard mode for cybersecurity teams, and staying vigilant means having the right defenses in place: ✅ Educate teams on phishing tactics (they’ll be out in full force). ✅ Patch systems before the holiday rush. ✅ Monitor for unusual activity—especially during off-hours. ✅ Plan for incident response with clear protocols. Holidays can be peaceful and secure—if we stay one step ahead. Thanks for sharing this timely reminder! 🔒
