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. The focus on hacking privileged and email accounts reflects a recognition on the part of hackers that traditional perimeter security is no longer an effective barrier to getting inside networks and gaining access to critical data.
This statistic paints a clear picture: firewalls alone are not enough.
