Tal Kollender highlights how human errors and default settings lead to 80% of ransomware attacks. Discover the risks of manual remediation and how automation can reduce misconfigurations, shrinking the attack surface and enhancing network protection.
Tal Kollender discusses the importance of understanding misconfigurations in the cyber world. Misconfigurations refer to two things: human errors and default settings. It can lead to disastrous consequences, such as 80% of all ransomware attacks. Manual efforts to prevent misconfigurations have limitations as there is no validation and continuous detection, leading to glitches. Automating misconfiguration remediation can reduce the attack surface, which can help organizations protect their networks.
