We all have employees that have made mistakes at one time or another. Maybe they had an overwhelming schedule that caused them to slip up, or maybe they simply typed in an email address incorrectly and hit send. No matter what the cause, employees are human, they make mistakes, and they are being TARGETED.
Why humans? Won’t Technology Keep Me Safe?
Over 90% of breaches are caused by human error, the greatest security risk to your network, but why do criminals target humans in the first place? Using technology alone to break into a network is time-consuming and can be expensive. Cybercriminals are running a business, and just as you try to save time and money, so do they. How do they do that? By tricking humans into opening the door for them. Think about it this way, why break through the window when your employees could simply let them in the ”main entrance” and welcome them into your network?
How Can I Reduce my Security Risk?
A comprehensive cybersecurity program designed to improve your organization’s security posture by first bulking up your weakest links – your employees – can largely reduce the risks to your organization. A key component of a comprehensive program is running regular phishing simulations – the top attack method used by cybercriminals – to educate users on how to spot these malicious emails.
