**Why Network Security is the Backbone of Strong Cybersecurity**

In late 2024, a Virginia-based credit union with branches across the state was taken offline for nearly a week after hackers breached its internal network.

From there, they quickly spread through the environment, taking sensitive financial and operational data.
