All Hacks Lead To EMAIL. Here Is Why.

"All hacks lead to Email. Here is why." by Donald Allen, dacybersecurity.com.

"Some people learn by doing. Others have to be taught. In the long run, all roads lead to Rome."

Haven’t you heard about this proverb?

Perhaps, you’ve heard about this one:

"All Roads Lead to Rome."

Well, though, they differ in spelling, they are similar in concept.

And before I go into the details on how this proverb has to do with cybersecurity, let’s examine the statement first:

Did All Roads Really Lead To Rome?

In fact, they did.

This ancient saying is based on the fact that Rome was the point of convergence of all the main roads of the Roman Empire.

Back then the road system was formed more of a grid pattern to link regional cities. Important cities, in contrast, were joined to other cities by the pattern of roads, which was somewhat of a wheel and spoke.

Since then, this phrase refers to the times when Rome was positioned in the center, with every road attached to it.

The "All roads lead to Rome" proverb simply means that you can approach the puzzle any way you like, as long as you solve it.

In other words, there are many different routes to the same goal.

Same With Data Breaches

There are a lot of ways to get your data.

Yet, still, all hacks lead to Email.

There is a reason why 9 out of 10 successful data breaches start with Email.

After almost 100 hours of interviews with the world's finest cybersecurity professionals, I can finally tell you what it is. Ready?

People.

You see, there are two types of people: untrained and cyber conditioned.

So as two different types of companies: unsecured and secured.

By choosing the first "road" -untrained- you’re putting your and your company's sensitive information under the huge risk.

Because there are many Internet threats out there, like man-in-the-middle, phishing, social engineers’ techniques, traffic analysis, domain spoofing, and so on.

That's why it's mucha importante to educate everyone you know on the Cyber-Hygiene Essentials.
