The weakest link in cybersecurity is often human error, but effective protection requires more than employee awareness. Organisations can reduce cyber risk by combining security awareness training and phishing simulations with multi-factor authentication (MFA), least-privilege access, timely patching, secure processes and continuous threat monitoring.

The pandemic has certainly increased the opportunities for human error to cause indescribable damage to corporate systems. But even as a new form of normalcy returns to corporate life, the opportunities created for cybercriminals will continue to grow.
