Cyber threats aren’t just targeting big corporations anymore.
In 2025, small and medium-sized businesses are facing increasing risks from hackers, phishing scams, and malware — often without even realising it.
At Look Creative, we help protect UK businesses from these silent threats every day. Here are 5 hidden cybersecurity risks we’re seeing this year — and how to deal with them:
1. Phishing Emails Are Smarter Than Ever
Cybercriminals now use AI to create hyper-personalised fake emails that look convincing enough to fool even tech-savvy staff.
🛡️ Solution: Our Look Shield AI scans incoming emails for hidden threats, fake links, and spoofed senders.
2. Outdated Routers & WiFi Access Points
An old access point is a backdoor to your network. Many businesses we audit still use 5+ year-old networking gear with known vulnerabilities.
🛠️ Fix: Upgrade to business-grade hardware like UniFi and protect your entire office WiFi setup.
3. Weak Passwords & No MFA
Still using “admin123”? You’d be shocked how fast bots can guess weak credentials and gain access to email accounts or CRMs.
🔐 Recommendation: Enforce strong passwords and set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) across your apps and devices.
4. No DNS Filtering
Your team could click on a bad link right now and download ransomware — even if you have antivirus installed.
🔍 Fix it: DNS filtering stops threats before they load, giving you another line of defence.
5. Staff Working from Home — Unprotected
Remote teams = more risk. Home networks aren’t built for security, and personal devices often go unmanaged.
🏠 Our solution: We provide remote protection, VPN setup, and endpoint monitoring for hybrid teams.
