In our contemporary cybersecurity landscape, sneaky custom content threats are beginning to penetrate our email security policies and firewalls/virus-scanning network proxies with greater consistency. Aptly disguised files can easily wind their way into our inboxes and our most sensitive file storage locations, and they can lurk there for extended periods, waiting patiently for unsuspecting victims to download and execute their malicious payloads.
Seemingly, the faster we rush to understand and mitigate one iteration of a hidden content threat, the quicker that threat evolves into something entirely new, catching us by surprise again and again.
