Data theft today works a lot like pickpocketing – it’s quick, subtle, and usually happens when nobody’s looking. Network security teams see it every day: an employee clicks a fake login page, malware slips through email filters, or someone walks…
Most data gets stolen while no one’s looking. Not through some dramatic cyber attack with sirens blaring, but through quiet, everyday channels that slip right past security teams. Think random emails with hidden files, USB sticks left in parking lots,…
