According to the 2021 Verizon Data
Breach Investigation Report, human involvement played a role in 85% of data breaches
Attackers employ various tactics, such as
social engineering, deep fakes and event-driven strategies, to trick unwitting employees into revealing
sensitive information, initiating fund transfers, acquiring unauthorized system access, or deploying
ransomware.
To prevent your employees from becoming the
weakest link in your security measures, it is crucial to implement an effective security awareness
program. A well-designed awareness program can foster the right mindset among your staff and provide them
with the necessary training to act in a manner that prevents cyber incidents. Moreover, it equips them to
respond prudently in the event of an incident, minimizing its impact.
