According to a report by Tessian company, employees become a threat to the business' security and privacy by becoming fools. The reason might be the employees that have no idea that they're being cheated by the fake designations of a company's executive. This year, 52 percent of staff fell for fraudulent emails that impersonated a company's manager. Likewise, 41 percent of employees were misled by deceived SMS.
For entrepreneurs, it is certainly difficult to let go of the mistakes of their employees. Staff members can become a reason for the growing menace of cyberattacks everywhere. Tessian revealed that one in four workers (26 percent) lost their job last year after committing a mistake that made their company's security vulnerable to malware attacks. In addition to it, the facts show around 40 percent of staff members sent an official email to the wrong person, and almost 29 percent says their company lost a client because of that error. Besides this, 36 percent of employees made some sort of mistake in the accounts that compromised business' security.
Why do these blunders occur frequently?
The reason for these mishaps can only be asked with the employees. So, when asked with the workers, almost half of the employees stated that they'd sent important emails to the wrong person because they had a pressure to work quickly, so they did it because they were under pressure. Moreover, 40 percent of them cited diversion as reasons for falling for malware attacks in the year 2020 according to Tessian. For business owners' accidental data loss is the major concern and business leaders are no longer allowing for mistakes that turn into serious data breaches.
"Over half of employees (51%) said they make mistakes at work when tired - up from 43% in 2020 - and 50% saying they make mistakes at work when they are distracted - up from 41% in 2020."
To handle these blunders, enterprise owners must forego the expectations that employees can't make errors. Instead, they need to explore some strategies and Technology based solutions that understand humans are not robots that can't make blunders. What I mean is, they need to drive out strategies to help stop people’s mistakes before they turn into security breaches and create a shame-free security environment to encourage employees to admit their mistakes and sort out the problem at the initial stage. Rather than scaring employees that they'll lose their job. They need to create a mindset between security teams and staff to ensure a healthy partnership among them.
