Quote by Kevin Mitnick

A company can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on firewalls, intrusion detection systems and encryption and other security technologies, but if an attacker can call one trusted person within the company, and that person complies, and if the attacker gets in, then all that money spent on technology is essentially wasted.

Summary

This quote highlights the vulnerability of companies to external threats despite investing extensively in security measures. It emphasizes that even the strongest technological defenses can be breached if an attacker manages to manipulate and gain the trust of a single trusted individual within the company. In such a scenario, all the financial resources spent on advanced security technologies become ineffective, underscoring the value of human judgment and awareness in ensuring overall organizational security.
