SAN JOSE, CA - As businesses prepare for one of their busiest seasons, ZAG Technical Services urges company stakeholders to be proactive and identify any vulnerabilities that could leave them exposed.

“Cyber attacks can take days, weeks, or months to recover from, and may even come with a hefty ransom without the guarantee of restored access,” said Thuan Ngo, Vice President. “That kind of downtime could spell disaster, especially during critical operational windows like peak harvest season.”

To help businesses safeguard their operations, ZAG has released a free downloadable cybersecurity checklist, a release shared. This resource includes essential steps companies can take to minimize risks and prepare for faster recovery in case of an incident.

Here are some of the recommendations:

• Deploy a next-generation antivirus and anti-malware solution
• Engage in regular employee education and phishing simulation training
• Use system snapshots for predictable, streamlined recovery

“Now is a great time for businesses to reflect on their cybersecurity practices,” added Ngo. “Whether you’re worried about ransomware attacks, phishing scams, or system vulnerabilities, we want to empower companies to take proactive measures and prevent downtime before it strikes.”
