Credential theft
Stolen usernames and passwords give attackers a direct path into email accounts, cloud applications, and remote access tools. Once inside, they may continue blending in as a trusted user rather than using obviously destructive methods right away.
Phishing attacks
Phishing remains a major entry point because it targets people through ordinary business communication. A well-crafted message can steal credentials, launch malware, or convince someone to transfer funds or share sensitive data.
Ransomware
Ransomware continues to be a high-impact threat because it turns technology failure into immediate business disruption. Recovery depends on preparation, not improvisation, which is why businesses review both security controls and backup readiness together.
Weak access controls
Weak passwords, too much shared access, limited MFA enforcement, and unnecessary privileges all increase risk. Small businesses benefit from reviewing access controls as part of a broader security assessment so improvements can be prioritized clearly.
