There’s No Room for Complacency in Cybersecurity
In the fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”, a big bad wolf secretly stalks and eventually approaches Red, who naively tells him where she’s going. Using the information innocently provided by Red, the wolf quickly navigates to the grandmother’s house. Once there, he wreaks havoc and waits for the girl. When Red Riding Hood arrives at the house, the wolf eats her, too.
Most fairy tales are surprisingly grim. But this tale resonates with the harsh reality faced by every digitally-enabled organization today. Big, bad cybercriminals lie in wait, attempting to destroy or disrupt systems, and steal data, or hold it for ransom. Using fraudulent emails and fake websites to lure users, or looking for vulnerable software and applications to plant exploits and malware, these wolves in sheep’s clothing are increasingly stealthy and sophisticated.
When it comes to cybersecurity, there’s no room for naïve complacency. Organizations that have a culture based upon “it’s always been done this way” are vulnerable due to their lack of vigilance. This mentality can establish a reluctance to change, placing them in a position of unnecessary risk. Organizations deploying multiple security products often become complacent, thinking they’re protected from cybersecurity incidents.
To be risk-averse requires continued vigilance
