Navigating the Threat Landscape: Understanding and Combating 'Pig Butchering' in Cybersecurity
In the digital era where technology is intertwined with every facet of business, cybersecurity is not just a necessity—it's imperative. As cybercriminals evolve their tactics, companies, especially small to medium-sized enterprises, find themselves frequently in the crosshairs. Among the myriad of cyber threats, one particularly insidious strategy known as "pig butchering" is gaining notoriety. Understanding this threat and countering it effectively is crucial, and that's where partnering with RiskAware for specialized cybersecurity services becomes invaluable.
What is 'Pig Butchering'?
