Most cyberattacks succeed because of people, not technology
Firewalls and software can only go so far. The weakest link in any organisation's security is human behaviour — a clicked phishing link, a weak password, a lost device. Equipping your team with the right knowledge is the most effective action your organisation can take to reduce risk.
