5 Cybersecurity Threats Every Business Should Know in 2025
From ransomware to phishing, South African businesses face a growing range of digital threats.
1. Ransomware
Attackers encrypt your data and demand payment. Regular backups and endpoint protection are essential.
2. Phishing
Fake emails trick staff into revealing passwords or installing malware. Training and email filtering help.
3. Weak Passwords
Reused or simple passwords remain a top entry point. Use multi-factor authentication everywhere possible.
4. Unpatched Software
Delayed updates leave known vulnerabilities open. Automate patching where you can.
5. Insider Threats
Not all risks come from outside. Limit access to sensitive data on a need-to-know basis.
