If burglars were consistently entering houses in your neighborhood though the back door, it wouldn’t make much sense to spend the majority of your home defense budget fortifying the windows. According to Ryan Witt, VP of Industry Solutions, Healthcare, for Proofpoint, figuring out where to spend your cybersecurity budget should work much the same way. And speaking of healthcare, he notes that the more things change, the more they stay the same, with phishing consistently being a top attack vector for the past decade. Why?
