What is one of the most dangerous words in the world of cyber security?
When it comes to cyber security, one word stands out as deceptively dangerous: “assume.”
It’s an easy trap to fall into:
“Does my cyber insurance cover that?” — “I assume so.”
“Will your IT company assist during a cyber-attack?” — “I assume so.”
“Do your employees know how to spot phishing emails?” — “I assume so.”
But here’s the truth: assumptions can lead to massive security headaches.
