8% of users cause 80% of security incidents. User risk—the potential of each worker within an organization to trigger a security breach—poses a significant threat to a company’s security. As a result, user risk cybersecurity technologies have become a crucial part of many organizations’ security strategies.
However, not all user risk platforms are created equal. Some programs focus solely on detecting and responding to insider risks, rather than preventing them from occurring in the first place. Additionally, many of these “solutions” rely on outdated methods and technologies that are no match for the sophistication and agility of modern cybersecurity threats that actively target your workers, such as social engineering.
That’s why selecting the right user risk platform is crucial for organizations to effectively manage user risk and protect their data from potential breaches.
