DTEX, March 6th, 2023
Companies worried about cybersecurity should know that the real risk is inside their corporate firewall.
Corporate leaders spend a lot of time worrying about nation-state actors and ransomware gangs, but in Gartner Predicts 2023: Cybersecurity Industry Focuses on the Human Deal, the analyst firm reports that in the next two years, roughly 50% of major cybersecurity incidents will be attributed to human failure or a lack of talent.
Looking at our investigations, roughly 50% of the people who work at any given company are cybersecurity risks. Most employees don't think of themselves as cybersecurity risks. But our research has shown that roughly 50% of people in any organization regularly save confidential IP from projects where they have been a contributor to personal databases for later access in case they leave the company.
