November brings cooler weather, changing leaves, and the start of the holiday rush. Teams are closing out the year, planning well-earned time off, and maybe sneaking in an extra slice of pumpkin pie. But while you’re focused on wrapping things up, cybercriminals are focused on you.
Because here’s the truth: hackers don’t take seasonal breaks, and downtime doesn’t wait until you’re back from vacation.
The Hidden Risk in Holiday Season IT
It’s tempting to think, “We’re fine! Nothing’s broken.” But that’s like assuming your oven timer is accurate without checking; you won’t know until something’s already burned. In IT, one missed update, one overlooked patch, or one distracted click can quickly snowball into major disruptions.
Why IT Issues Peak in November
- Year-End Deadlines: Teams are rushing to complete projects, which means mistakes often get overlooked.
- Lighter Staff: Short weeks and vacations leave fewer eyes on your systems. Hackers know it.
- Distractions Everywhere: When people are splitting focus between family plans and work tasks, phishing emails slip through more easily.
