Outsmart Attackers: The Role of External Pen Testing
The threat landscape in today’s digital world is more complex and aggressive than ever. Cybercriminals continue to find new ways to exploit systems, targeting vulnerabilities that may go unnoticed until it's too late. Businesses, regardless of size or industry, are constantly at risk from threats such as ransomware, phishing attacks, data breaches, and more.
Cyber threats continue to evolve, but one factor remains constant: human error is still one of the biggest vulnerabilities. According to the latest OAIC Notifiable Data Breaches Report, 29% of reported data breaches are caused by human mistakes, not technical flaws. This shows that even the most advanced security systems can be undermined by simple missteps, such as clicking a phishing link or sending sensitive data to the wrong recipient.
Cyber attacks are now a daily reality. From ransomware targeting businesses to data breaches leaking sensitive information, the threats are constant and growing. To stay ahead, organizations need to be prepared not only to prevent attacks but to respond effectively when they happen.
In Cybersecurity, You Can't Protect What You Can't See. Cyber attackers are faster, stealthier, and more coordinated than ever. Without clear visibility into your digital environment, you're operating blind, leaving your organization vulnerable to threats that go unnoticed until damage is done.
