Every year, there are an increasing number of cyberattacks. According to TechTarget, Skybox Security reported an increase of 25% in new vulnerabilities in 2022 compared to 2021. Moreover, the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2023 predicts that the concerns around cybersecurity will persist in 2024, too.

In 2024, every business across the world is already aware of the looming potential of a cyber attack. With billions of dollars pouring into the cyber criminal market each year, hackers have more backing to create large-scale attacks, breaching financial records, private data, and customer information. Reconnaissance attacks are the first step in many of these major breaches. By scouting out a business, collecting information about its security posture, and aiming to identify vulnerabilities, these initial attacks give hackers the data they need to launch precise, damaging attacks.
