Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and businesses can no longer afford a reactive approach to security. In 2025, protecting your company means implementing proactive defenses, continuous monitoring, and strategic planning to mitigate risks before they escalate into costly breaches.

At Frankel Technology Services, we work behind the scenes to keep businesses secure. Whether you’re strengthening your email security, monitoring for compromised credentials, or ensuring your infrastructure stays updated, a layered security strategy is essential.

1. Security & Updates Behind the Scenes

The foundation of any strong cybersecurity program starts with keeping systems updated, protected, and monitored. Many breaches occur because of outdated software, weak passwords, or untrained employees. Here are key areas businesses must focus on:

Email Security

Phishing attacks are one of the most common ways cybercriminals gain access to company data. Email security solutions block phishing attempts, spoofed emails, and malware before they reach your inbox.

Security Awareness Training

Employees are often the first line of defense. Regular training helps your team recognize and respond to cyber threats, reducing the likelihood of human error leading to a breach.

Dark Web Scanning

If company credentials are exposed on the dark web, attackers can use them to infiltrate systems. Monitoring for leaked credentials allows businesses to take action before hackers do.

Phishing Testing

Cybersecurity training is most effective when reinforced by simulated phishing attacks to measure employee awareness and improve response habits.

Password Management

Weak and reused passwords remain a significant vulnerability. Enforcing strong, unique passwords across the organization reduces the risk of credential-based attacks.

2. Detection & Response – Catching Threats Before They Spread

Even the best defenses can’t block 100% of cyber threats. That’s why businesses need to focus on early detection and rapid response to minimize damage.

Advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Modern EDR solutions continuously monitor devices for suspicious activity, providing real-time threat intelligence and automated response mechanisms.

Microsoft 365 MDR Monitoring

Cybercriminals target cloud-based email environments to infiltrate organizations. MDR (Managed Detection & Response) for Microsoft 365 scans emails for signs of compromise and isolates threats before they spread.

Security Monitoring & Vulnerability Testing

Regular network scans and penetration testing help businesses identify weak points before hackers do, allowing for proactive risk management.

3. The Final Failsafe – Planning for Resilience

Even with strong security measures, no system is 100% breach-proof. A strong failsafe ensures minimal downtime and impact in the event of a cyberattack.

Application Whitelisting

By blocking unauthorized applications while ensuring approved programs remain protected, businesses reduce the risk of malware infiltrations.

4. Cybersecurity Is an Ongoing Strategy, Not a One-Time Fix

Technology and threats evolve constantly, which means businesses must continuously adapt. A long-term cybersecurity strategy ensures resilience and efficiency.

Quarterly Business Reviews

Assessing IT infrastructure on a regular basis keeps businesses aligned with security best practices while adapting to new threats.

Risk Identification & Mitigation

A proactive approach to cybersecurity means identifying vulnerabilities before they become actual threats, reducing the risk of costly incidents.
