I would also add phishing emails, are a very big problem. Security awareness and internal phishing email exercises are helpful in containing the exposure.

3rd, 4th vendors access

Often CISO’s often forgets that in order to protect the data, they should first understand what data they are trying to protect meaning confidential, sensitive PII, SOX, etc etc. If they can isolate where that data is an put additional guardrails around it, I believe it will help them tremendously.
