Unmasking Cyber Threats: Safeguarding Your Business’s MACs from Malicious Malware

It’s an era where the thin barrier between the digital and the real world is starting to crumble, and cybersecurity looms as the last refuge for small and big businesses alike. MACs, once thought to be impregnable fortresses against the dark arts of the cyberattack world, have officially become targets for highly sophisticated malware – the first step of a silent revolution now under way. It’s not just the MAC myth that is collapsing.

The Growing Storm of MAC Malware

Even PC's well-earned reputation as a device of choice in corporate workspaces has not escaped the notice of cybercriminals. Over the past few years, one thing became clear, which is that there has been an upward trend in the number of MAC-focused malware families. The families themselves are becoming more sophisticated and more dangerous, and this is where we’re seeing the effects of a seismic shift in the threat landscape for MACs. The latest examples we’ve seen are called MacStealer, Atomic macOS Stealer and ObjCShellz.

The Vulnerable Target: Small & Medium Businesses

After all, it’s far easier to expand an existing business or incorporate new services than it is to create one from scratch. The dilemma is that businesses large and small have little choice – their digital assets are becoming so valuable that, as Betsy Cooper, the co-director of the Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, wrote last year: ‘Every entity, no matter its size, is a target.’ SMBs are particularly vulnerable precisely because they so often house valuable data while lacking the sophisticated cybersecurity infrastructure of the corporate world.

Empowering SMBs Against Cyber Threats

Against this adversarial environment, emerging allies such as Huntress are a glimmer of hope. Huntress was founded by NSA veterans: those who have been on the dark side of cyber warfare want to fight it and defend against it. An NSA veteran was my first student, and his family is the first family I mentored. In short, the NSA veterans of yore saw patterns, developed an after-action improvement approach, and are applying many of those tools to SMBs, seeking to bring sophisticated cyber defence to the masses.

The Path to Cyber Resilience: A Webinar for SMBs

Realising that ‘more than any other vertical, SMBs need cybersecurity heroes,’ Huntress graciously invites SMBs to a webinar that ‘will arm SMB MSPs with actionable intelligence to uplevel their MAC security posture’ by giving a ‘deep dive into the cloak-and-dagger world of MAC malware, exposing lurking perils uncommon threats, and debunking misconceptions about security on macOS’.

Why Join the Webinar?

• The accelerating pace of macOS-specific threats and the minds orchestrating them
• The limitations of relying solely on macOS's built-in defenses
• Lessons from real-life breaches that caught companies off-guard
• Distilling genuine cybersecurity solutions from the myriad of pretenders
• Actionable steps to counteract and halt hackers in their malicious tracks

Unlocking Cybersecurity for MACs

But the invitation to this eye-opening webinar is also a call to arms for SMBs that are setting out to fight their digital battles. SMBs can sharpen their axes and bolster their troops with tools and tips, as well as surround themselves with fire-breathing cybersecurity experts, having finally understood for years that MACs are unsafe, but also secure in the fact that digital risks now require a holistic cybersecurity approach.
