“A recently released report from computing giant IBM attributes some 95% of IT security breaches to human error and that over 75% of attacks are targeted at just five industries, proving when it comes to security, people are the real problem”
This just proves once again that when it comes to cybersecurity, training and education for your employees is going to provide a bigger return on investment than anything else you can do. Most attacks start as email or web site based exploits that use trickery and deceit to get a response from your staff. This opens the door for remote access, privilege escalation, network traversal, and data theft.
