Why Cybersecurity Still Fails at the Basics: Hackmanac CEO Sofia Scozzari

Hackmanac CEO Sofia Scozzari warns that attackers are increasingly collaborating, scaling via as-a-service models, and exploiting organisational blind spots while defenders often treat cybersecurity as a purely technical issue instead of a business risk. She urges stronger information sharing, embedding security by design, and aligning cyber strategy with business priorities to reduce impact when breaches inevitably occur. #Hackmanac #MedicalDevices

  • Attackers constantly adapt, collaborate, and scale operations using as-a-service models.
  • Many organisations still treat cybersecurity as an IT problem rather than a strategic business risk.

  • Human factors like credential misuse and phishing remain major drivers of compromises.
  • Effective defence requires security by design, executive accountability, and structured information sharing.
