Imagine an attack that is effective at 99% of organizations throughout the world. Now imagine that attack will yield you credentials and information that could allow you to completely take over and/or shut down an organization. Now imagine there are no solid defenses for such an attack and it goes largely unnoticed. Sounds like something off the fiction shelves, but it’s not. By leveraging one or multiple Man in the Middle attacks, a malicious person could very easily gain the “keys of the kingdom” in almost all organizations worldwide. With that power they can steal vital information, spread malware and even shut down the entire network of an organization.
