The Accidental Leak: Why You're the Biggest Threat to Your Own Data

Description

We dive into the most financially devastating threats of 2025, revealing how ransomware, which accounted for 76% of incurred losses in one portfolio, and vendor breaches continue to drive significant financial damage. The discussion explores how AI is turbocharging social engineering and credential stuffing (which caused a 250% increase in Account Takeover attacks in 202), enabling threat actors like Scattered Spider to "log in" using valid credentials rather than breaking in. We break down critical defenses—from Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to tokenization—and examine how everyday human mistakes, like pasting production credentials into random online formatting tools, create massive enterprise risk.
