By understanding the converged pathways attackers follow long before an incident occurs, organisations can reduce exposure, improve early detection, and make themselves a far harder target.

How social engineering works in practice
As companies strengthen their cyber defences, a quieter risk continues to slip through the cracks: people. In a new overview on social engineering, Gavin Wilson, Director of Physical Security and Risk at Toro Solutions, explains how attackers increasingly rely on everyday interactions rather than technical hacks.

In his latest article, Gavin Wilson, Director of Physical Security and Risk at Toro Solutions, explores the growing wave of human-targeted attacks from kidnappings and coercion to digital manipulation aimed at crypto holders, executives, and their families.
Gavin warns that “people are now the path of least resistance.” Protecting digital wealth demands layered security: combining technical controls, operational discipline, physical protection, and careful management of your digital footprint.

The Dark Side of Crypto
Cryptocurrency has transformed the financial landscape. It offers freedom, accessibility, and the potential to generate significant wealth. Yet this innovation has also created new risks – not just to systems, but to people. As security systems improve, criminals have changed their focus. Instead of hacking platforms, they’re targeting the people who control the assets. Executives,
