The article identifies four cyberattack scenarios where employees serve as the primary or sole defense line, as technical security controls have limited effectiveness. These threats rely on human interaction, such as social engineering, phishing, or insider risks, rather than exploitable vulnerabilities. No specific technical details, dates, CVE IDs, or quantified impacts are provided in the content. The focus is on the role of personnel in mitigating attacks that bypass automated protections. The discussion emphasizes real-world attack vectors where user awareness and behavior are critical. No geographical or organizational scope is specified.
