By 2025, lack of talent or human failure will be responsible for over half of significant cyber incidents.
In a report by Gartner, it is predicted that by 2025, more than 50% of major cyber incidents will be attributed to the lack of skilled personnel or staff human errors. To address this growing concern, organisations are urged to adopt a human-centric design approach in their cyber security programs. This report explores key predictions and provides actionable recommendations to strengthen cyber security defences with a focus on the human factor.
Key Predictions:
- Human errors and talent shortage: By 2025, many significant cyber incidents will be caused by human errors or the lack of skilled cyber security personnel.
- Increased investment in human-centric cyber security: Businesses will need to invest in a cyber security strategy.
- User awareness and training: The emphasis on user education and awareness programs will rise.
- Behavioural analytics and insider threats: Behavioural analytics will gain prominence to detect and prevent insider threats.
