Stolen credentials, phishing, and exploitation of vulnerabilities are the top three ways that cyber attackers gain access to company networks and information, according to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.
To further complicate the cybersecurity ecosystem:
- 83% of breaches involved external actors, with the majority being financially motivated.
- 74% of breaches involved the human element, which includes social engineering attacks, error, or misuse.
- 50% of all social engineering attacks are pretexting incidents — that’s nearly twice the 2022 total.
This landscape is what we’re up against, and it will be top of mind at VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas. We’ve tailored the Workspace Security tracks to focus on the ways that threat actors gain access to your environment.
Here are our must-attend Workspace Security sessions coming up live at Explore.
