“Security teams and the organizations they support live in difficult times: they increasingly are the targets of sophisticated threats developed by a shadowy and very well financed cybercrime industry that has demonstrated it can often outsmart even the most robust security defenses. Cybercriminals are aided by the fact that security teams often lack the human and financial resources necessary to keep pace, and so often cannot defend against the latest threats that are directed against them. Add to this the fact that security teams often support users who unwittingly aid cybercriminals (or occasionally become them) through mistakes or intentional acts that can result in the loss of sensitive data or corporate funds.”
