The recent acceleration of digital transformation and distributed work has changed the game in cybersecurity. When most employees worked exclusively from an office, the boundaries for cybersecurity were clearer. With do-from-anywhere work, the threat surface expands to wherever a company’s employees go.
This is a universal and human problem—even the most security-minded person is still prone to slipups. The most effective strategy isn’t for IT to browbeat employees to adhere to existing, and potentially outdated protocols, but rather to make sure security posture accounts for the human factor.
The following are five of the more common reasons why people fall victim to cyberattacks:
1. Overconfidence in the organization’s firewalls to stop threats
2. Not grasping the scale of the threat
3. Hopeful they won’t be targeted
4. Assuming the fallout can be easily resolved
5. Ignoring the threat because they don’t know how to resolve it
A modern approach to cybersecurity is vital. Your customers’ cybersecurity strategies need to be prepared to protect their data and systems, reduce the impact of cyberattacks, and scale cybersecurity measures effectively, all while minimizing added complexity.
