Cybersecurity > MTO triangle


Virtually all cybersecurity issues require 3 key components.


Motive

The attacker must have some form of motive.


Technology

The attacker must have the technical capability to launch the attack.


Opportunity

The attacker must by in a position to launch the attack.


Preventing any one of these will prevent a cyberattack.

  • Motive - This cannot be prevented but warning messages can reduce this.
  • Technology - Make systems technically complex.
  • Opportunity - Use a principle of least privilege, remove unnecessary systems data or unused accounts.
