Holiday Cybersecurity: The Biggest Risks for Small Businesses

The holidays are the busiest — and most dangerous — time of year for small businesses when it comes to cybersecurity.

Between online shopping, employee travel, holiday emails, and increased network traffic, cybercriminals use December to launch more phishing attempts than any other month. Fake shipping notifications, gift card scams, and fraudulent invoices spike dramatically.

For Bartlesville businesses, this means one distracted click can lead to account compromise, data loss, or a very expensive recovery.

What can you do?

  • Enable MFA everywhere (Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, banking).
  • Train staff to spot fake holiday messages.
  • Protect accounts with security tools.
  • Ensure backups are verified and working.
  • Let your MSP tighten your tenant security before year-end.

A cyber incident during the holidays can take your business offline when you need it most. Cabala Consolidated protects local businesses with full-stack cybersecurity and 24/7 monitoring — so you can focus on the season, not the threats.
