SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
December 04, 2019

Anchor Advisory, the Bay Area’s leading firm for IT security services at https://www.anchoradvisoryinc.com/, is proud to announce a second blog post in its series on cybersecurity issues. The post alerts Bay Area businesses that corporate leaders should not underestimate the abilities of internet hackers. Cybercriminals search for opportunities to steal sensitive company information and destroy a company network 24/7. The holiday season, in particular, might be a perfect time for hackers to seek out weaknesses in company systems while employees are out for winter break.

“Anyone traveling for the holidays knows to take extra precautions and secure their home before leaving. Criminals are opportunists and know to look for signs that show no one is home. That’s the easiest time for them to test a household’s security and attack. The same idea applies to company networks,” explained George Fu, technical director at Anchor Advisory. “Hackers are very aware that company networks get quiet around the holidays and take advantage of the opportunity. Our cybersecurity experts are here to make sure they can’t get in.”

CYBERSECURITY CONSULTING: SMART SAN FRANCISCO CA COMPANY NETWORKS DON’T TAKE A HOLIDAY BREAK

Here is the background for this release. Company networks can experience a spike in activity from October through December. Corporate leaders might task departments with important projects due before Q4 closes. An in-house IT (Information Technology) team could be prepared to handle the added pressure until the holiday vacation. After employees leave for winter break, network use can dramatically drop off. The most significant risk to a corporate IT system could be a quiet, unoccupied building.

Cybercriminals might seize the opportunity to hack into a system when offices are empty. Executives may come back to work to find sensitive company data compromised. A cybersecurity consultant can help business leaders create a smart plan to defend an IT system against hackers. Various protocols, including cyber risk assessment, colo design, and network security audits, could identify and fix vulnerabilities.

Employees may take time off over the holidays, but IT systems can require 24/7 attention. A cybersecurity consulting team can help San Francisco, CA business networks remain secure during office closures. For these reasons, Anchor Advisory has announced a new post in a series of network safety topics.
