Cybersecurity Lingo: What is an “Attack vector” ?

This is *how* a malicious actor enters your system.

For instance, they may buy passwords on the dark web and login to your email that way.

Or if they successfully phish an employee to gain access to your systems, those are both attack vectors. In this case, the attack surface is email in both cases.

(You could argue “people” for the second example if you prefer) #cybersecurity #manageditservices
