CISOs, IT leadership and the public at large tend to focus on the visible sources of cyber threat, such as viruses and malware, phishing and spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks. But there are hidden cyber vulnerabilities threats that can trip up even the most diligent CISO.

From the hotel chain breach that exposed travel details on half-a-billion guests to fitness tracker data that allowed enemy combatants to geofence military bases, these not-so-obvious sources of risk – and their consequences – could lead to different sorts of consequences, including blackmail, espionage, and the disruption of negotiations between nations.

“Sometimes the not-so-obvious vulnerability is ourselves. The biggest vulnerability that we face today and in the future is the misperception of risk.”

—Malcolm Harkins, Blackberry Cylance
