Information Technology continues to get more complex as the way we use technology evolves. When we started our careers, mobile devices like tablets, cell phones, smart devices, and “Internet of Things” didn’t exist. Being social meant that you went out with friends or family – not hang out online on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Fiverr, or Nextdoor.
These devices have introduced many modern conveniences, but they’ve also made our jobs more challenging. Now we must have some understanding of mobile device security, mobile device applications, Cloud security (many providers host their entire environments in the cloud).
The aforementioned social media applications have had the direct consequence of introducing new threat vectors and ways for cybercriminals to defraud the general public. Generally with phishing attacks.
