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.
