Network security has made some major advances in the past couple decades, so much so, that is has become incredibly difficult to attack a well secured network perimeter as a means of accessing the data and systems contained therein. So it’s no wonder that malicious users have begun pursuing other avenues and skirting the perimeter defenses all together. From the attacker’s standpoint, breaching a network is all about economics and ROI. It just doesn’t make sense to mount an attack that will c …

Or ca …
