In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cyberattacks have become a constant threat, impacting individuals, organizations, and nations alike. As technology advances, so do the methods and sophistication of cyber adversaries, making it crucial for all stakeholders to stay informed and up to date on the latest mitigation strategies.

The cyber threat landscape continues to evolve and nothing ever goes away. Phishing scams have been around for a couple of decades, as have distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Now we have ransomware attacks that seem to occur every day, and new advanced persistent threats (APTs) keep being discovered.
