 ## Introduction
 
-Emerging technologies and evolving business trends bring new opportunities and challenges for organizations of all sizes. As technology and workstyles transform, so does the threat landscape with growing numbers of increasingly sophisticated attacks on organizations and users.
+Today’s organizations face a world of accelerated change, from marketplace fluctuation and sociopolitical events to the rapid adoption of new AI technologies. However, as organizations and industries innovate, so do increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals. Research shows that employees, including their devices, services, and identities, are at the center of attacks on businesses of all sizes. Some leading threats include identity attacks, ransomware, targeted phishing attempts, and business email compromise. <sup>[\[1\]](conclusion.md#footnote1)</sup>.
 
 To thrive, organizations need security to work anywhere. [Microsoft's 2022 Work Trend Index][LINK-1] shows *cybersecurity issues and risks* are top concerns for business decision-makers. Business decision-makers worry about malware, stolen credentials, devices that lack security updates, and physical attacks on lost or stolen devices.
 
-In the past, a corporate network and software-based security were the first lines of defense. With an increasingly distributed and mobile workforce, attention shifted to hardware-based endpoint security. People are now the top target for cybercriminals, with 74% of all breaches due to human error, privilege misuses, stolen credentials, or social engineering. Most attacks are financially motivated, and credential theft, phishing, and exploitation of vulnerabilities are the primary attack vectors. Credential theft is the most prevalent attack vector, accounting for 50% of breaches<sup>[\[1\]](conclusion.md#footnote1)</sup>.
