Unfortunately we can't predict when you might be targeted by cyber criminals, it happens throughout the year. That said, we can predict hot spots in the year that they might try to target.
For example, the Christmas holiday season is one of the points of the year that cybercrime is at it's highest. Companies tend to have low staff count, people are trying to finish up before the start of the holidays, and cyber criminals know people have done online shopping. This is prime time to send a malicious link in an email disguised as an order you have made.
That’s why we’ve put together some key dates to add to your calendar. There will be new nudges, alerts and advice cards to keep your people cyber-secure the whole year through (and we have thrown in some fun ones too!).
