A Company’s Weakest Link

Years ago, the “way in” to your network was through your gateway device or firewall. This device sits between your Internet Service Provider and your internal network. Its job was to block undesired ports and protocols from entering the network. Fast forward to today. Corporate firewall manufacturers have been able to thwart attempts from the bad actors by enhancing their capabilities not only to block specific ports and protocols, but with the ability to inspect the actual data streams trying to enter (or exit for that matter). Adding many other layers to this, the perpetrators had to find another way in. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of email, the new targets are employees!

You’ve heard of phishing—the method by which a bad actor entices an end-user to click on a malicious link in an email which has been crafted to fool the user into thinking it is legitimate. They’ve gotten so good at their craft that employees are now their easiest targets and hence why employees are your biggest threat against attack.
