Whether an attacker’s end goal is data exfiltration or holding your data hostage through ransomware, ultimately, the target is your data. Attackers will do whatever it takes to gain access to your data, stealing user credentials through phishing attacks, installing malware to silently open back doors, and traversing whichever parts of your network they need to make access happen. As the information technology landscape evolves and becomes increasingly complex, the complexities open new doors and attack vectors for attackers to leverage. Unfortunately, as the industry continues to shift toward more data stored in the cloud, traditional security approaches are losing their effectiveness.
