If Your Cybersecurity Relied on Your Employees, Would You Still Have a Business?

This is an important question to ask because, when it all comes down to it, your employees are very much a part of your business’ defenses—and a big part, too.

This is because most cyberattacks, about 98% of them, involve social engineering to some degree. Rather than trying to hack your business’ security, social engineering allows an attacker to take advantage of one of your own team members to get the same access far more easily. While the exact figures are tough to pin down, anywhere from 70% to 90% of data breaches rely on social engineering.

All said, 83% of organizations in the United States fell for a phishing email in 2021. That’s 46% more than the year before, by the way, with significant costs associated with these events.

This makes it all the more important that your team members know what social engineering is, and how to spot it.
