Most breaches aren’t the result of sophisticated attacks — they come from simple neglect. We see the following five mistakes in almost every security assessment.
One: default passwords on network equipment. Two: postponed updates. Three: excessive access — the employee who can reach everything is the organization’s biggest risk.
Four: no tested backups. Having a backup isn’t enough; you must know it actually restores. Five: no staff training — most attacks begin with one wrong click.
The fix isn’t complicated: periodic assessment, least-privilege access and continuous training. Security is not a one-off project; it’s an organizational habit.
