The Wayside effect
Today a Cto of a big company told me :"my network's equiped with a newest security solution, we can predict a breach a mile away, we are finally safe!"
Then i told him :" So may we bet 1 cent than i can insert a file in your filesystem in less than 10 minutes ?"
He laught to me
Using a single cell phone in front of him it was done in less than 6 minutes.
He start crying.
How i did this ? I use the easiest breach.... Humans
A few calls finding the perfect candidates....
Pretending being a printer technician from a random brand ...
Asking to remote troubleshoot a non existent failure from the computer with a free remote online app .....
Drop a file to the company Filesystem.....
Done.......
It was an empty .txt file but it could have been a worst
It seems than Ockham's razor has been forgotten by many decisions maker, your all wrong, forgetting this fondamental rule.
Train all your collaborators frequently
Learn them good habits day after day
Never give up even if its your own CEO or a relucant acounting
One day they will thank you, and the most important will ensure an "all level control" from potential risks
