Security
Everyday vulnerabilities are the biggest point of entry
Cyberattacks can have serious consequences, especially for intralogistics companies with interconnected production, warehousing, and logistics processes. According to experts, however, successful attacks usually do not begin with complex zero-day exploits, but rather through known vulnerabilities, insecure access points, and human error. The key factor is how attackers combine multiple vulnerabilities.
Companies often underestimate everyday risks such as phishing, weak passwords, a lack of multi-factor authentication, or misconfigurations. Fabian Mosch, Head of Offensive Services at r-tec Cyber Security, points this out based on penetration tests and attack simulations. Rather than exploiting individual security vulnerabilities, attackers typically use a combination of several weaknesses to gradually expand their privileges and move around the network.
Today, the focus is particularly on identities and user accounts. Permissions that are too broad, inadequately protected cloud services, or VPN access often allow attackers to quickly gain access to corporate resources. Penetration tests and attack simulations go beyond traditional vulnerability scans because they reveal real attack vectors and the impact of combined vulnerabilities. This allows companies to prioritize security measures based on actual risk.
“In our attack simulations, we think and act like real attackers. That’s exactly how we find the vulnerabilities that traditional tests often overlook.” Furthermore, relying on individual security products alone is not enough. Effective cyber defense requires the interplay of technology, processes, identity management, and regular assessment of actual attack vectors. Furthermore, cloud platforms, remote work, and the use of artificial intelligence are constantly creating new attack surfaces.
