Cyberthreats have evolved so quickly that what once seemed like science fiction is now reality. From AI-driven cyber-attacks to the power of quantum computing, the cybersecurity challenges of 2025 are shaping up to be both innovative and unnerving. Here’s a look at some of the biggest threats on the horizon and what small and medium-sized businesses can do now to prepare.

In 2024, cyberthreats are no longer just a big-business problem. In fact, large corporations with deep pockets are not the primary target for most cybercriminals.

As you likely heard, Windows 10 will reach its end of life on October 14, 2025. This means Microsoft will no longer offer free security updates, non-security updates and technical support on this version.

Ah, the holiday season – when everything gets festive, sales go up and your to-do list grows longer than your wish list. For businesses, this time of year can be make-or-break, but while you’re decking the halls, your IT infrastructure might be decking you with unwanted downtime and cyberthreats.

This year has been a busy one for cybercriminals, with some massive data breaches making headlines and costing companies millions.
