Key Points
– An adversary focus can help us rebuild our security to ensure that even if they get in they are not successful
– Make the adversary work harder to achieve their goals or make it difficult enough where they go after someone else instead.
– It will happen to you, and it’s more likely happened to you already, as you have been focused on prevention over detection.
