Avoid The Hazards of Human Risk
Every October, security-minded organizations around the world turn their focus toward security awareness to promote the power of a strong security culture to protect systems, data, and people. And Arctic Wolf is no exception.
We’re here to help your organization and individual users scale the summit of security awareness, avoid the hazards of human risk, and turn your users into mountaineers who can conquer challenges and overcome social engineering obstacles.
We focus on users during October because human risk is an ever-expanding aspect of the attack surface, and without the right tools and trainings, organizations can fall victim to social engineering, credential theft, and other identity-based attacks that can quickly snowball from an isolated threat to a massive data breach.
Let’s look at three user-centric threats:
Phishing: One email can compromise credentials, give a threat actor access to valuable applications and assets, or even give away funds. Phishing is all too common because, while simple, it continues to be effective across industries and around the world.
Business email compromise (BEC): With email the top form of communication within and between organizations, threat actors are trying every trick in the book to access credentials and accounts to commit financial fraud.
Ransomware: This feared threat often begins with social engineering and ends with encrypted servers, extorted data, and massive financial losses.
Data gathered from Arctic Wolf backs up how serious these hazards can be.
These risks can be avoided along your security journey. The 2024 Arctic Wolf Cybersecurity Awareness Month Summit is here be your guide to scaling the summit of security awareness. We’ll outfit you with the information and insights you need to fill your social engineering survival kit, offer tips, tools, and takeaways to keep security awareness top of mind all year long, and show you a better path past the hazards of human risk.
