Top 3 Cybersecurity Threats on the Rise

By

As the holiday season approaches, the IronEdge team wishes you and your colleagues a joyful and peaceful time. But while this season brings celebration, it also brings an uptick in cybersecurity threats targeting businesses of all sizes.

From AI-powered scams to executive impersonation schemes, attackers are becoming more sophisticated — and every employee is a potential target.

That’s why we created a quick, visual guide to help your team stay protected:

What’s Inside

In this one-page infographic, you’ll learn how to recognize and defend against three of the fastest-growing threats:

1. Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Impersonation scams that pressure employees into sending money or sensitive data, often disguised as urgent, “act now” requests.

2. AI-Driven Scams
Cybercriminals use artificial intelligence to craft convincing phishing emails, clone login pages, and create chatbot-like interactions that mimic real people.

3. Deepfake Attacks
AI-generated voices and videos can impersonate leaders or coworkers, making fraudulent requests appear authentic.

Each section outlines simple steps your team can take today to verify requests, train employees, and strengthen your defenses.

 

Why It Matters

The holidays are a prime time for cybercriminals to strike — when teams are stretched thin and attention is divided. Staying vigilant and reminding employees to think before they click is one of the most effective ways to prevent costly mistakes.
