Social engineering. Social engineering is the most prevalent way threat actors find their way into your environment. Getting an unexpected call from the Social Security administration or the IRS will never happen. Network design and architecture. Once the actor has embedded themselves, they will strike.

Penetration testing and red teamers are critical for remaining vigilant in an ever-changing threat environment and catching the vulnerabilities otherwise missed. Phishing and social engineering are common ways threat actors can obtain a symmetric key, but cryptanalysis and brute force attempts can also break symmetric key ciphers.
