5 Modern Threats You Need to Watch

The article identifies five threat patterns that begin with stolen credentials or social engineering rather than malware delivery, including ransomware and business email compromise (BEC). It emphasizes early detection strategies for IT and security teams to intercept these attacks at the initial access stage.
