Abstract

Like a sniper, the most dangerous cybersecurity threats are the ones you never see coming. Even with firewalls, antivirus solutions, and cybersecurity awareness training for your employees, cybercriminals still manage to exploit any vulnerabilities they can find. This could be because they exploit attack vectors that are known to your organization (but remain unaddressed for some reason) or because they’ve discovered vulnerabilities that are not yet known to you (what are known as zero-day exploits). Cyberattacks are not a matter of “if,” but “when” they will occur. Unless you somehow gain omniscience (if that happens, be sure to reach out and we can split the cost of a lotto ticket), there’s really no way for you to know every single vulnerability that exists on your network or within your organization. After all, security risks come in all shapes, sizes, attack vectors, and levels of potency in the digital world. And, considering that threats to cybersecurity are continually changing and adapting, it’s a challenge to keep up with them all. So, what can you do? You can take the time to learn about as many cybersecurity threats as possible and work to identify and address as many holes in your defenses that you possibly can.
