A recent study by Deloitte found that financial firms spent an average of 10% of their IT budget on cybersecurity and that CISOs rank keeping up with rapid IT changes and rising complexities in tech systems as top challenges, regardless of company size or maturity level. PKI offers an excellent security foundation for every device, server, user, and application in the enterprise, whether on-premise or on the cloud.
As millions of people visit online retailers to spend their hard-earned money this holiday, cybercriminals will be working to trick consumers into mistakenly sending that money their way, instead.

In this episode, our hosts Jason Soroko (CTO of PKI, Sectigo) and Tim Callan (Senior Fellow, Sectigo) explain the research results, this paradoxical browser behavior, and its likely effect on consumer security.

In a social engineering attack, a bad actor uses human interaction (social skills) to acquire information about a company and/or its computer systems.
