Why are humans the biggest insider threat to your business?
Employees are often considered the weakest link in a business’s cybersecurity chain, and for good reason. Negligent users, employees with exposed credentials, and malicious users are the three main types of insider threats that can cause user-related data breaches. The majority of employees make mistakes, which can compromise cybersecurity, and phishing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it easier for attackers to target employees. Building a security-savvy workforce through Human Risk Management (HRM) is one way to address the problem. Regular, short, and engaging training is necessary to ensure that employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and best practices.
