Every year has its theme. In 2025, it was this. Cyberattacks stopped being a someday problem and became a right now problem for companies of every size and every industry.
Here is what this year taught us, sometimes the hard way.
The Biggest Cyber Threats of the Year
Ransomware stayed king, but evolved: quieter, more targeted, lurking in networks for weeks undetected.
Some businesses seem strangely lucky. Their systems stay up. Their team rarely deals with slow computers. Security scares don’t happen. Everything just… works.
Meanwhile, other businesses fight technology every single day. Printers rebel. Software glitches.
Most people think IT support is something you call when something breaks. A printer jams. A laptop gets grumpy. A password refuses to cooperate. But professional IT support does something much bigger, something that spills into your day from the moment you sit down at your desk to the minute you close your laptop at night.
There’s a certain hour of the night, quiet, still, unsettling, when business owners start thinking about the things they can’t quite control. And almost always, technology ends up on that list. Not the everyday glitches. The deeper issues. The ones that feel like a loose thread tugging at the edge of the entire operation.
Vendor impersonation used to be a once-in-a-blue-moon problem. Today it's becoming part of everyday business life across nearly every industry. Companies of all sizes are getting hit with emails, messages, and invoices that look almost perfect. Scammers study your vendors.
In the early days, basic IT support feels like enough. A few computers, a shared printer, and a Wi-Fi router that mostly behaves. When something breaks, someone fixes it. When software updates slow things down, you wait it out. It works, until suddenly it doesn’t.
Growth reveals every weak spot.
The holiday season brings a surge of shoppers and increased sales, making it one of the most lucrative times of the year for retailers. At the same time, this spike in activity also draws the attention of hackers looking to exploit busy stores and distracted staff.
It never starts like a movie. There’s no dramatic music, no flashing red lights. Just an ordinary morning, coffee, emails, maybe a meeting or two. And then, suddenly, the screens freeze. Files vanish. Access denied.
By the time anyone realizes what’s happening, it’s already too late.
Every year, businesses miss out on one of the easiest tax savings available simply because they get caught up in the day to day. Section 179 is one of the rare tax incentives that actually helps smaller organizations, not just the large corporations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become essential for modern business. Cloud AI makes it accessible and scalable, eliminating the need for dedicated infrastructure or advanced expertise. Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, it accelerates growth and innovation without large upfront costs.
