Level 2

Businesses have strategies in place to mitigate a variety of sophisticated attacks that seek to exploit elevated user privileges and other potential weaknesses such as credential harvesting. These businesses are better placed to defend themselves against cyberattacks but should continue to invest in their cybersecurity posture.
