When companies develop strategies for fighting cybersecurity threats, they often focus on defending against external risks. These risks may include attacks staged by hackers and organized groups of cybercriminals who deliberately infiltrate business systems to profit from stealing sensitive data.

However, breaches can be caused by internal vulnerabilities. Employees may breach systems or expose data to risk unintentionally. If multifactor authentication (MFA) isn’t being used for access control or employees fail to follow security protocols, companies can experience accidental breaches. 

To help you understand how internal vulnerabilities create risk, we have created a video featuring Aliah Cadena, Senior Security Solutions Architect with ProActive Solutions. In the video, she shares her experience of breaching the server room of a hotel and gives advice on how to protect your company from inside threats.
