Describe how phishing, message-based vectors, vulnerable software, and supply chain weaknesses serve as entry points for attackers, and explain how social engineering manipulates users rather than technology. Recognise how expanding an organisation's attack surface - through new devices, applications, or third-party integrations - increases overall exposure.
