Human error is involved in as many as 13 percent of data breaches. How do you protect yourself from such threats? We have gathered five pieces of advice.
To error is human, as the saying goes. This also applies, to a large extent, to IT security. In this instance, human error is a frequent culprit when a company is affected by data security breaches.
The human element is involved in a staggering 82 percent of breaches. Whether it is the use of stolen credentials, phishing, misuse or simply an error, people play a very large role in security incidents and data breaches alike. According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report 2022 human error continues to be a dominant trend and is responsible for 13 percent of breaches.
This should be a concern to most organizations – and the fallibility of employees should not be discounted.
Human error covers several actions – e.g., bad password habits, clicking on phishing links or sending information to the wrong recipient. These are all widespread problems, and they all constitute risks that pose a challenge to any organization’s data security.
A parameter that has only become increasingly more important since the EU Data Protection Regulation came into force in May 2018, lacking data storage security may now even result in substantial fines.
As an organization, you can take the right technical measures and implement and streamline the right processes, but you rarely get very far if the employees are not involved and do not understand how their actions collectively contribute to the organization’s GDPR compliance.
Even when outsiders attack an organization, their success is most often due to the fact that they can exploit internal structures and weaknesses that should have been previously addressed.
This is why it is crucial to take measures with respect to human error. Errors are going to happen, and when they do, it is simply better to be prepared. However, what is the most important step you can take to safeguard your organization? We have gathered five pieces of advice.
The above measures create a good foundation for protecting the organization from human error. To take your security efforts to the next level a Zero Trust security model is the best choice.
The Zero Trust model always verifies, it never trusts and treats all requests within the organization’s network as if it came from an untrusted source. This way all users are continuously authenticated, authorized, and validated before gaining access to data or applications.
Even though the Zero Trust model includes several factors the common denominator is the user. The underlying principle is to control who has access to which systems and data and have well-defined policies to define when to allow or restrict access, and how to enforce it.
That is why Zero Trust should be a central part of any organization’s Identity and Access Management strategy.
