Enterprises Need To Beware Of These 5 Threats
DARKReading, Thursday, May 1st, 2025
A panel of SANS Institute leaders detailed current threats and provided actionable steps for enterprises to consider.
Enterprises must make it harder for attackers to see any lasting progress in eliminating threats across the landscape.
SANS Institute's annual panel at RSAC Conference features Heather Barnhart, DFIR curriculum lead and senior director at SANS Institute and Cellebrite; SANS Technology Institute College president, Ed Skoudis; Tim Conway, ICS curriculum lead at SANS Institute; Rob T Lee, chief of research and head of faculty at SANS Institute; and Joshua Wright, faculty fellow and senior technical direction at SANS Institute and Counter Hack Innovation. The panel highlighted last year's notes that while attackers are adaptable, they target the path of least resistance-searching for open doors and abundant security gaps.
Following a tumultuous year full of disruptive ransomware attacks and a reportedly record -breaking data breach, it came as no surprise that attacks are not only advancing, but plentiful. However, enterprises making "simple mistakes" was a recurring theme. Panelists showed how vendors and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) risks contribute to the problem.
