Social engineering is on the rise. We need to change both methods and improve technology to protect users and their access to the corporate network. Users that doesn’t have the knowledge or skills to protect themselves. Multi-multi factor authentication is needed, strong encryption on data-in-transit and strong protection of the end points, the devices and servers. Simple firewalls etc just don’t do it anymore.
