As technology continues to evolve, the same can be said for cybersecurity threats. With recent advancements in artificial intelligence, attackers are leveraging AI-driven tools to automate phishing scams, craft highly convincing deepfake content, and bypass traditional security defenses with unprecedented speed and precision. These advancements make cyber threats increasingly more sophisticated and harder to detect, requiring individuals and organizations to stay vigilant and continuously adapt their security strategies and cybersecurity awareness training programs.
Human error remains the leading cause of security breaches. In fact, studies show that 95% of cybersecurity incidents occur due to human mistakes. Whether it’s clicking on a phishing email, using weak passwords, or unknowingly downloading malware, small missteps can lead to major security incidents.
