HUMAN RISK MANAGEMENT

Humans Make Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes.

In fact, 43% of employees admit to making errors at work that affected cybersecurity, like accidentally sending an email to the wrong person or sharing confidential files.

The issue is that even these seemingly minor mistakes can expose sensitive data, which experienced cybercriminals are highly skilled at identifying, exploiting, and using to launch further attacks.

Humans Are Targets

A lot of your business information is publicly accessible online, including details about suppliers, contractors, and customers.

This gives attackers the opportunity to impersonate trusted internal or external contacts.

It only takes one employee falling for a convincing scam to put your entire business at risk of a serious data breach.

Humans Break The Rules

People in any organization can break the rules, whether intentionally or by mistake.

However, rule-breaking often goes beyond ignoring basic security measures like password policies.

In some cases, trusted employees may go as far as stealing sensitive corporate data and selling it anonymously on the dark web for financial gain or personal advantage.

Drive Secure User Behaviour

Our security awareness training is one of the most effective ways to reduce human-related cyber risks. According to Osterman Research, businesses can expect a return on investment (ROI) ranging from 69% to as high as 562%

Reduce Phishing Vulnerability

Phishing simulations help businesses evaluate how vulnerable employees are to common attacks. They also provide an opportunity to reinforce training and track each user’s improvement over time.

Improve Security Processes

Having a policy management process in place helps employees understand their responsibilities and take appropriate action, strengthening the security of business information and IT systems.

Mitigate External Threats

Every year, millions of usernames, passwords, and payment details end up on the dark web. Continuous dark web monitoring helps businesses stay informed by alerting them when employee data has been compromised.
