Welcome to CyberHoot’s September Newsletter!
This month, we’re zeroing in on the biggest shifts shaping cybersecurity today, and what they mean for you, your clients, and your business.
We’ll break down why traditional phishing tests just don’t cut it anymore, and share the latest research that proves it’s time for a positive change. We cover Microsoft’s new Token Protection rollout with practical implementation guidance for MSPs, so you can get ahead of challenges you might face. On top of that, we’re digging into the top 10 emerging AI threats every business needs to prepare for, and showing you why building and nurturing a thriving cybersecurity culture in your company isn’t optional, but a must have. And finally, you’ll see how phishing report channels in Teams or Slack can transform fear into educational opportunities and dramatically boost your cyber defenses.
Let’s dive in!
