What are the biggest cybersecurity risks?

Here’s the thing about cybersecurity in business: it’s a moving target, and the biggest vulnerabilities usually come down to people, outdated tech, and ever-evolving threats. No matter how much you spend on the latest security systems, if an employee clicks the wrong link or falls for a social engineering trick, the whole operation is at risk. I’ve watched organizations pour money into top-tier solutions, but then skimp on training—honestly, that’s just asking for trouble. Imagine installing a high-end alarm system and then leaving the front door unlocked.

Legacy systems are another major headache. Some companies are still running software that’s practically ancient, and that’s like rolling out the red carpet for hackers. Ransomware and supply chain attacks? They’re not just more common now, they’re more sophisticated—and when they hit, it’s not just about financial loss; your reputation’s on the line, too.

What really concerns me is how quickly these threats morph, and how tough it is for businesses—especially smaller ones with limited resources—to keep up. It’s not enough to invest in tech; building a culture that values cybersecurity awareness is just as critical. If you don’t get everyone on the same page, you’re always going to be one step behind.
 
I should say that phishing stands out as one of the biggest risks related to cybersecurity. This method dupes people into revealing their passwords or following links that they consider to be illegitimate. Even many smart internet users are on the hook when the fake is so perfectly executed. The hacker then proceeds with taking control of the system or obtaining the private information of the user. If a person keeps simple passwords and operate using unpatched software, they are making it very easy for cybercriminals to hack their devices. I recommend people to use open source software.
 
I've seen firsthand that cybersecurity is about people, habits, and mindsets, not just fancy tools. I've seen businesses make significant investments in technology but neglect training, exposing their greatest weakness. It's as annoying as giving out extra keys to strangers and locking up your valuables. I'm also concerned about legacy systems because they're antiquated and essentially invite intrusions. The speed at which threats change is what really bothers me. I'm always trying to create a culture where everyone, not just IT, is responsible for cybersecurity. We're already behind if we're not all paying attention, and I won't allow that to happen while I'm in charge.
