Cyberattacks spike every holiday season, and many Pittsburgh businesses aren’t prepared. With IT staff taking time off, attackers take advantage of slower response times and the flood of holiday emails package alerts, shopping receipts, and charity requests to launch convincing phishing attempts and ransomware attacks. This makes December one of the highest risk periods for companies across the Pittsburgh region.

To stay protected, businesses should ensure systems are patched, backups are working, MFA is enabled, and employees know how to spot holiday themed scams. Many local organizations also rely on Pittsburgh MSPs for 24/7 monitoring and quick incident response, especially when internal teams are short staffed.

With the right protections in place, Pittsburgh businesses can enjoy the holidays without worrying about cyber threats. Contact Preferred IT Solutions today to keep your business in check with cyber security standards throughout the holidays.
