Ransomware

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security! A staggering 73% of Black Hat hackers consider traditional firewalls obsolete, highlighting their limitations in today’s complex threat landscape. While firewalls play a role, relying solely on them is like leaving your front door wide open while expecting a padlock to keep intruders out.

The reality is, hackers actively target vulnerabilities. 32% of them see privileged accounts as the easiest entry point to steal sensitive data, bypassing firewalls altogether.

This statistic paints a clear picture: firewalls alone are not enough.
