Summer: Why Cybersecurity Must Be Strengthened As Vacations Abound
CSO Online, Monday, August 4th, 2025
Cyberattackers are well aware of what's happening at this time of year, which is why they take advantage of seasonal circumstances to launch more aggressive campaigns.
Summer is a time for vacation and a well-deserved break from the intensity of work. It's also a great time to be targeted for a cyberattack.
While cybercriminal activity extends throughout the year, summer has a special quality for cyber attackers. Whether it's because our guard is down more than usual, because the weather invites us to relax, various studies show that the summer is one of the peaks of the year in terms of criminal activity in all areas, and cybersecurity is no exception - with more aggressive and indiscriminate campaigns awaiting organizations across every industry.
