Human Reconnaissance

Human reconnaissance centres on the human aspect of security, examining behaviours and access patterns to identify risks that technology might overlook. It helps to detect insider threats and fortifies organisational defences, making it a crucial component of any cybersecurity strategy.

Why is Human Reconnaissance Important?
