Compliance and cybersecurity teams are facing a growing challenge: proving they meet regulatory requirements while maintaining strong security in an increasingly complex and fast-moving business landscape. Traditional methods for mapping controls, processes, and risk areas simply can’t keep up in today’s ever-evolving regulatory environment. This is where automapping steps in as a game-changer, revolutionizing how businesses handle compliance and cybersecurity.
Unfortunately, cybercrime is once again in the news. This time, a small county in Ohio has been the victim of an attack that has destabilized their ability to provide critical services to constituents.

This article explores high-profile cases from recent years, identifies evolving attack patterns, and outlines actionable strategies to mitigate social engineering.
