To evade security measures, cybercriminals are constantly exploring new tactics. Thus, it is crucial to adopt a hacker's mindset and employ preemptive measures to outsmart them. Defense in Depth (DiD) is a strategy that helps accomplish this.

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), DiD involves using various security measures in a layered or stepwise approach to achieve security objectives.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems have many advantages over traditional telephone systems, but they also come with a unique set of risks. Because VoIP relies on the internet, it’s susceptible to hacking attempts, just like any other online system.

Insider threats are a serious concern in the realm of cybersecurity. Unfortunately, many organizations of all sizes either neglect or are hesitant to address this issue.

To address this critical problem, this blog post aims to highlight the various types of insider threats, the severe harm that they can cause, the user attributes that can increase the risk of such threats, and the security controls that should be put in place to prevent and protect against these types of threats.
