We’ve all done it: checked the box and confirmed that we are bound by a company’s “Terms of Service” without so much as glancing at them.

We Must Never Let our Cyber Guard Down
By Emil Sayegh
When cyber defenses work, there is a human tendency to become complacent. If you fall into this perception trap, you will quickly find yourself in survival mode — scrambling to restore and recover, and in a position where the best explanation was that the attack was somehow “unexpected.” The global cyberthreat is also still very real.
