The holiday season brings a surge in cyber business, with Salesforce forecasting 4% global and 1% US year-over-year sales growth. Threat actors take advantage of increased online activity, leading to a rise in cyber threats such as DoS attacks, phishing, and ransomware. To prepare, businesses should identify their team, develop a plan, practice it, and establish secure communication channels.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
1. The holiday season brings a surge in cyber business, posing an increased threat of cyberattacks, including DoS attacks, phishing attacks, and ransomware attacks.
