Cybercriminals recognize the possibility for riches in the flow of information that makes the global economy go round, and they are coming after your data with ever-increasing tenacity. As you know, technological advances have helped tighten and control many security and privacy risks. However, because these technologies have improved so much in recent years, cyber attackers have shifted their focus to the ever-vulnerable human. While you can build a wall of technical protections around systems and information, it is ultimately the actions and behaviors of your people that will determine just how secure your data, and ultimately your bottom line, really are. Changing user behavior represents the critical “last mile” of reducing risks on the prevention side of the security risk equation.
