With data breaches being commonplace, Tripwire offers a post reminding us of the role people play in preventing or enabling breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. Most studies over the last few years have consistently revealed that human error is responsible for well over 75% of cybersecurity and privacy breaches.

As long as people interact with computer systems - as there is no cyber protective silver-bullet - organizations have a duty to provide cybersecurity awareness and education to empower us to be the first, best, and last line of defense.
