“Cybersecurity is ineffective primarily due to overcomplication. This overcomplication can often be attributed to the “smartest person in the room” syndrome, which is pandemic in the industry.

-
Data gathered from real-world penetration tests, audits, and incident responses to focus on the current state of cyber defense.
-
Motivations, breaches, and primary tactics used by attackers.
