There’s a quiet pattern that most business owners never connect until it’s too late. When business leaders take time off or step back even briefly, attention drops and risk goes up. Not because your team isn’t capable. Not because something is guaranteed to go wrong. But because cybercriminals are patient, and they look for moments when oversight is minimal and response is slower.

Those moments tend to occur when you’re less available, traveling, on leave, or simply not as plugged in as usual.
