Cyber threats don’t strike all at once — they build up in stages. Once they’re in, they move quickly: testing systems, spreading quietly, and then applying pressure through extortion and disruption.

Opportunity
Bad people looking for a way in

2
Resistance
Bad people inside your organisation

3
Leverage
The bad people making demands
