External threats refer to techniques commonly employed by adversaries to deceive users, gain access to valid credentials, or exploit corporate assets. Attack vectors like phishing or malware provide adversaries ample opportunities to breach a company’s defenses. Even worse, with the global pandemic and shift to remote work, phishing scams disguised as legitimate communications containing critical information are on the rise.
