The human factor to cybersecurity

Companies spend thousands of dollars to protect their sensitive data, critical infrastructure and employees from cyber attacks.

The human factor plays an important role to cybersecurity.

Miguel Angulo

The majority of data breaches occur due to human error. To minimize the human risk, it is important that people develop a sense of awareness towards cybersecurity. 

A process needs to be established to allow the removal of risky habits for habits that keeps productivity while keeping the risk low. If people learn, master and apply these basic cybersecurity concepts to their daily lives, the attack surface in organizations will decrease as people become more resilient to cyberattacks.
