Forbes: 4 Formidable Cyberthreats Every Employee Should Know

Employees are every organization’s best defense against cyberthreats. They are also every firm’s greatest source of risk.

However, not every worker poses equal risk. About 8% of employees cause 80% of the incidents, according to a Cyentia Institute report that uses the data from Elevate Security, a Mimecast company.

“There is a subset of employees who are generally more cybersecurity aware and there are certain individuals who just don’t have the same kind of security common sense,” says Masha Sedova, vice president of human risk strategy at Mimecast.
