The truth is simple: cyber threats don’t take a day off, and neither can your defenses.
Cybercriminals don’t wait for the weekend. They don’t clock out at 5 p.m. They don’t pause for holidays, vacations, or long weekends.
But unfortunately, too often security programs do.
For MSPs, this creates a growing gap between client expectations and operational reality. Threats evolve continuously, but most security programs still operate in bursts—major upgrades here, a compliance review there, and occasional fire drills when alerts spike.
Continuous protection, however, doesn’t mean constant panic. It means building systems, habits, and visibility that work even when your team isn’t online. It’s about knowing that your clients’ security posture stays strong on a Sunday afternoon, not just during business hours.
Here are a few of the threats continually plaguing the cybersecurity community, and stories of organizations who have built the effective security programs to combat them.
Todyl’s Threat Research team continually uncovers new and emerging threats that plague MSPs and the organizations they serve. Here are several of the most recent and potentially damaging ones:
This seemingly innocent AI-powered web browser hides multiple potential threats that can have lasting impacts on organizations:
The application creates a recurring foothold that can be used for other software distribution, including malware.
Learn more about what we’ve uncovered about the OneStart AI Browser Deception and how to identify and remove it.
Similar to OneStart is Epibrowser, another potentially unwanted program (PUP) that poses as Chromium and carries additional possible risks:
Just like OneStart, Epibrowser can steal browsing data and serve up ads and search results that can expose organizations to malware.
Read more about the effects of the Epibrowser PUP and how to address it.
Besides these new browser-based threats, a persisting vulnerability in SonicWall VPNs is opening up businesses to potential malware. Threat actors Akira and Sinobi use the opening as a way to break into networks and deploy ransomware.
This threat should be addressed immediately. Read our guidance on the SonicWall VPN vulnerability and see how to take care of it yourself.
The culmination of these threats, the Akira ransomware group uses these and other vectors to deploy their malware. Working tirelessly, the advanced threat actors won’t stop at just deploying malware. They will work their way through an organization’s network to find additional targets and engage in double extortion schemes.
Read our full breakdown of the Akira Ransomware group to learn their tactics and how to stop them.

Despite the looming threats described above, organizations can take action, build a strong cybersecurity program, and stop attacks in their tracks. Here are just a few stories of Todyl partners who have protected themselves and their clients from constant threats.
These stories highlight that, for attackers, operating hours are 24x7x365. So, to be fully prepared to stop threats at all times, you need a cybersecurity program that’s ready to act whenever they do.
This Cyber Action Month, take the first step towards keeping yourself and your customers protected. Reach out to Todyl to learn how you can equip yourself to protect what you’ve built against constant threats.
