The NCSC and CISA are absolutely missing the mark. Preventive measures are certainly an important layer of defense, but antivirus is fairly useless against most advanced attacks. Vulnerabilities are no longer the primary entry point (aka initial compromise) for most attacks. While a vulnerability is often exploited as a step in an overall attack campaign, the primary mechanism being more actively used by many adversarial nation-states is a combination of phishing and social engineering. This means that initial compromise is dependent on human behaviors and impossible to prevent 100% of the time. This includes potential threats from the inside, not just outside threats. More advanced and adaptable technologies that use machine learning and artificial intelligence to compensate for threat actor activity and human behavior have proven to be more effective at stopping successful attacks.
