Threat landscape

Why the network matters.

The broad patterns behind many of the incidents that make the news.

Why the network matters

These are broad patterns, not incidents. Nothing here describes a specific customer.

Attackers are often let in, not breaking in

Many serious incidents start with access that was allowed, not with something that was broken. The door was open; someone simply walked through it.

Small footholds become big incidents

The first system an attacker reaches is rarely the one they want. What decides the size of an incident is how far they can go from there.

Change outpaces oversight

Networks change every week. Reviews happen a few times a year. In the gap between them, risk accumulates quietly.

What you believe is not always what is running

Documentation, diagrams and standards describe the network as intended. Attackers deal with the network as it actually is.

Understanding how these patterns apply to your own network is where Rakasec helps.
