While you’re settling back in from summer vacation, cybercriminals are stepping up their game. Phishing attacks spike in late summer, fueled by travel bookings, back-to-school distractions, and a flood of out-of-office replies. Worse, attackers are now using AI to craft emails that look more convincing than ever.

If you’re not sure your current setup is enough, this is the place to start.

In this article, we’ll break down how these attacks happen, why even cautious employees are vulnerable, and what steps your business can take to stay protected.
