User Risk Report 2018
Risky end-user behaviours are impacting organisations around the world. Are infosecurity teams overestimating end users understanding of fundamental cybersecurity best practices?With implications that can be immediate (like a ransomware infection) or a threat that lies in wait (like an incident of credential compromise), it's clear there is a pressing need to better define and manage end-user risk. Because cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting end-user mistakes rather than hardware, software, and system vulnerabilities, organisations must take a people centric view of cybersecurity in order to most effectively protect data and assets.
