Technological advancements aside, human vulnerability remains the weakest link in any security chain. Social engineering tactics such as phishing, pretexting, or baiting can deceive employees into revealing sensitive information like passwords or financial details. 

Phishing scams have matured over the years, becoming increasingly difficult to detect. These attacks usually come in the form of emails or messages, duping individuals into revealing sensitive information like passwords or bank details. Cybersecurity measures must include comprehensive training for employees to recognise and handle phishing attempts.

Ransomware continues to be a formidable security threat, crippling businesses and costing millions each year. Attackers use sophisticated encryption methods to lock up your data, demanding payment for its release. With the rise of cryptocurrencies, tracking these criminals has become harder, adding another layer of complexity to IT security.
