Organizations face a significant challenge in cyber risk management as tools and technologies alone are insufficient. Attackers now exploit human behavior rather than just technical vulnerabilities. Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that nearly 60% of breaches in 2024 involved a human element. The misconception that employees are solely at fault ignores the reality that security environments often fail to support users. A strong organizational security culture, which prioritizes simplicity and fosters secure behavior, is essential. Investing in security culture is crucial to countering human risk effectively.
After two decades of developing increasingly mature security architectures, organizations are running up against a hard truth: tools and technologies alone are not enough to mitigate cyber risk.
The latest version of Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report found that nearly 60% of all breaches in 2024 involved a human element.
Too often, security is made unnecessarily complex. Concepts are communicated in a confusing and overwhelming technical language while policies are designed for auditors and lawyers, not the average employee.
Until security culture is treated with the same prioritization and investment as your security technology, human risk will continue to undermine even the best-designed technical programs.
