Phishing has always been a threat. Now, with AI, it's more dangerous than ever. Phishing 2.0 is here. It’s smarter, more convincing, and harder to detect. Understanding this new threat is crucial.

A recent study found a 60% increase in AI-driven phishing attacks. This is a wake-up call that phishing is only getting worse. Here’s how AI is amplifying phishing and what you can do to protect yourself and small business.

Cyberattacks are a constant threat in today's digital world. Phishing emails, malware downloads, and data breaches. At Norco Technologies, we understand how easily they can cripple businesses and devastate personal lives.

Employee error is the reason many threats get introduced to a business network. A lack of cybersecurity awareness is generally the culprit. People don’t know any better, so they accidentally click a phishing link. They also create weak passwords, easy for hackers to breach.

It’s estimated that 95% of data breaches are due to human error.

But here's the good news, these mistakes are preventable. Building a strong culture of cyber awareness can significantly reduce your risks.

Cyber threats are a perpetual reality for business owners. Hackers are constantly innovating. They devise new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks.

For businesses of all sizes, a proactive approach to cybersecurity is essential. One of the most crucial elements of this approach is regular vulnerability assessments. A vulnerability assessment is a systematic process. It identifies and prioritizes weaknesses in your IT infrastructure that attackers can exploit.

Some businesses may be tempted to forego vulnerability assessments. They might think it’s too costly or inconvenient. Small business leaders may also feel it’s just for the “big companies.” But vulnerability assessments are for everyone. No matter the company size. The risks associated with skipping them can be costly.
