The rapidly evolving and advancing threat landscape makes each new day more threatening than the last. As each industry strengthens their defenses, cybercriminals are constantly on the hunt for unsuspecting businesses and any gaps in their security.

And while these attacks are primarily thought of as highly sophisticated in terms of the techniques used, they often aren’t actually that complicated.
