It is another example of the law of unintended consequences. What is originally deemed to be a benefit to society can also have a dark side, comprised of unforeseen circumstances and unexpected interactions between different entities.

According to a study at the University of Maryland (Security Magazine) in 2022, a cyber attack occurs every 39 seconds. With the exponential growth of the threat landscape, cybersecurity cannot be a part-time job. It is certainly not a side hustle. Whether you are a global corporate giant or a local SMB, cybersecurity is not…

If you’re old enough to remember landlines (or have seen any 1980s or 90s movie about teens looking to put one over on their parents), chances are your parents pulled a real-world man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) on you.

Security experts, including our team at CYREBRO, tout the benefits of using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an added layer of security.
