Cybercriminals: the 'auditors' you never hired

Cybercriminals conduct unauthorized audits of organizations by probing their security posture and identifying vulnerabilities for exploitation. The article frames adversarial reconnaissance as an involuntary audit process that every organization faces.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to recognize that threat actors continuously probe defenses; understanding this adversarial audit mindset can inform vulnerability management and detection strategies.
