What is Cyber Espionage?

Let's break down the threat: Cyber espionage is when malicious hackers spy on victims (often government or business entities) to gain access to confidential information. The motives can range from leveraging data for political gain to selling the information to the highest bidder. Whether the motivation is financial, political, or otherwise, we don't need to tell you that such breaches can be catastrophic. As opposed to the high-profile cyber attacks that often make headlines, cyber espionage profits off of its subtlety, wreaking havoc undetected for sustained periods. Let's explore cyber espionage tactics and ways to safeguard yourself from such breaches.
