For all the effort and investment a modern business needs to put into its cybersecurity, it is equally important to acknowledge each team member's role in an organization’s security protections. Many of your employees, through no inherent fault of their own, are themselves a vulnerability as they allow many cyberthreats into your infrastructure through scams and simple mistakes.
