With most businesses and people winding down for a well-deserved break over the holiday season, it’s important to be aware that cyber security risks increase over the holiday season. This is due to a number of factors ranging from people being less vigilant about cyber security in holiday mode, through to traveling, which generally exposes people to a variety of cyber threats, as they may be using unfamiliar networks and devices.

During the holiday season, there is a significant increase in online activity through internet shopping, financial transactions, and social media interactions, all of which provides more opportunities for cybercriminals to target both individuals and organisations.
