The pace of cyberattacks are mind-numbing with AI being the catalyst resulting in faster attacks, smarter phishing, automated exploits and so on. Yet, there’s a fundamental breach that’s far more less sophisticated and often ignored – human mistake.
For years, enterprise security teams worked with a basic assumption: if an attack got in, there would still be enough time to detect it, investigate it, contain it, and recover before the real damage spread. This assumption may not hold good anymore.
Enterprises may have spent years strengthening firewalls, email filters, endpoint security, and access controls, and those defenses still matter, but it is important to realize that the threat is shifting.
