A big part of cybersecurity is proactive security. This means you simply keep a continuous watch out for potential threats before they blow up into serious security incidents. Technically, having a keen sense of catching threats is what you call threat identification skills.<\/p>
Threats from a cybersecurity perspective can be both internal and external. It goes without saying that consistent security awareness training and upskilling about the evolving tech stacks and network environments are the fundamentals to enhancing your threat identification skills.<\/p>
But all the training, security standards, and so on mostly operate within the confines of a regular organization and general network environments. But there is a whole other world outside your company walls and the mainstream internet, where cybercrime enthusiasts thrive. If you want to be truly proactive, you need to keep a watch out in these spaces as well and spot your enemy before you pay the price for not doing so earlier.<\/p>
