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.
