Even an unpretentious-looking email can turn into a potent attack vector, rendering the company’s entire infrastructure inoperative. Last year’s high-impacting DDoS attacks are only considered to be precursors for larger and more advanced cyberattacks. In light of this, security practitioners are constantly striving to decipher the probable points of vulnerability that causes these security breaches and catalyze the development of effective solutions.
