Promoted | Why your company needs a human firewall
have experienced an insider threat over the past year, and these threats are on the rise. Compounding the problem is the fact that the timely detection and prevention of insider attacks is extremely difficult, as these trusted users have legitimate credentials to access applications, networks and services.
The common maxim today is that people are the weakest link in cybersecurity, and this negative portrayal of human nature is so deeply ingrained in the industry that many are unsure how to involve their people in the cybersecurity process more effectively. People are unpredictable and often inconsistent, adding complexity to the issue.
Because human error is the major reason why data breaches happen, having an effective human firewall is critical. However, bad actors grow increasingly imaginative and determined, always honing their methods for the best chance of success. Therefore, entities in every sector need to equip their workforces with the skills to recognise and respond to these attacks. One way to do this is through ongoing security awareness training.
