How to Test Your Environment Against Cyber Threats
Over the last several years, the frequency of cyber threats and attacks has increased. It is estimated that there is an attack every 39 seconds and an estimated 30,000 websites a day get hacked. And the vast majority of these things are the result of an error:
- misconfiguration,
- not following policies or procedures,
- not adhering to best practices,
- in some cases, just being duped or tricked by a threat actor.
So the reality is that the cyber threat is not going away. We will continue to see attacks happening more frequently, especially as the world moves further and further into being digital and connected in almost every way.
