Charleston, SC - As Lowcountry businesses head into the winter season, cybersecurity remains concern, especially with year-end activity, holiday travel, and seasonal phishing scams on the rise. SNS Technologies is highlighting the issue with help from an unexpected source: Cyber, the company’s Border Collie mascot known for his sharp instincts and no-nonsense security advice.
SNS Technologies recently shared a light Q&A featuring Cyber and company president Mike Ray, offering simple, practical reminders for businesses looking to strengthen their defenses before the new year.
One of the biggest takeaways: every business is a potential target, regardless of size. “Small and mid-size companies often assume they’re below the radar,” Ray said. “But attackers specifically look for organizations that haven’t updated systems or security practices.”
When asked for one quick, high-impact security step, Cyber’s answer was clear: enable multi-factor authentication. According to SNS Technologies, MFA remains one of the most effective tools for preventing unauthorized access, especially as employees work remotely or log in from multiple locations during the holidays.
The Q&A also pointed to several signs a company’s cybersecurity may be out of date—stale passwords, untested backups, and outdated systems among them. Winter, Ray noted, is an ideal time for Charleston businesses to review these basics and prepare for the year ahead.
SNS Technologies hopes the lighthearted approach encourages business owners to take cybersecurity seriously without feeling overwhelmed. As Ray put it, “If Cyber can explain it, anyone can understand it.”
