The Shadow’s Web

Title: The Shadow’s Web

In the world of new-business building,
Where opportunities and risks reside,
Lies a digital frontier, unsettling,
Where cybersecurity takes stride.

Verse 1:
The belief that firewalls can never fail,
A false notion that breeds digital deceit,
Weak defenses, a vulnerable veil,
Inviting hackers to quietly retreat.

Verse 2:
A trust misplaced in every click,
In the realm where phishing lures,
Identity theft, a disaster thick,
Within the depths of cunning cures.

Verse 3:
Data encryption, a solid armor,
Yet a false sense of protection unveils,
For weak and broken keys bring terror,
Leaving treasures open to digital trails.

Verse 4:
Internet of Things, a web untamed,
Where gadgets connect in a seamless blend,
But vulnerable devices can be named,
As gateways for hackers to apprehend.

Verse 5:
Social engineering, a deceptive art,
Masquerading as trusted friends,
Persuasive words that play their part,
Leaving networks exposed to unforeseen ends.

Verse 6:
A reliance on outdated software’s hold,
Ignoring updates, a precarious mistake,
As known vulnerabilities unfold,
Exploited by those who wish to take.
