EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
“ The recent ransomware and dark web takedowns highlight the positive outcomes that can be achieved through closer collaboration ”
If they got the basics right , attackers would find it a lot harder to breach networks .
For example , in our latest Attack Intelligence Report , 41 % of incidents occurred due to missing or unenforced multi-factor authentication ( MFA ) on internet -facing systems . By not doing MFA right , companies are just sitting ducks for cybercriminals .
Despite the necessity for advanced cybersecurity solutions , maintaining basic cyber hygiene is a straightforward and effective method to reduce the risk of an attack .
Cybercriminals tend to take the path of least resistance for quick profits . Implementing barriers correctly such as MFA slows them down and increases the cost of mounting an attack . Consequently , they are more likely to bypass organisations with robust defences .
Q . WHY IS INNOVATION IN RESEARCH TECHNIQUES CRUCIAL FOR STAYING AHEAD OF CYBER THREATS ?
» Innovation is crucial for every cybersecurity company . It enables researchers to uncover new malware families and techniques used by attackers to evade security measures .
