Cybersecurity failures can happen to any company and anyone. Every breach has a root cause and despite the significant investments made in security-related technologies to prevent breaches, the root cause is less likely to be lack of such systems than it is to be people-related. People represent the greatest risk to data security for any organization: Because employees represent up to 85% of data breach risk according to the Verizon 2021 Data Breach Investigation Report, it’s critically important for organisations to understand how to work with – and not against – human nature to build a strong security culture.

As tactics that fight human nature would increase the chances of failure, the best defence strategies would meet employees where they are, measure outcomes, and update accordingly, according to a new article published at Corporate Compliance Insights.
