Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed some of the basic best practices that can form the foundation of an effective security program. You have learned why email is the most important threat vector and the types of attacks that often originate in email. You have also learned some best practices that have stood the test of time and are as important now as they have ever been. You have learned about capabilities that are more important as the business world has become a remote access paradigm, and you have learned how human behavior analysis can help identify anomalies, secure systems, and create an adaptive security posture.

In the next chapter, we will highlight techniques that help end users become part of the solution rather than being seen as part of the problem.
