  • Blog: IAEE Preferred Partner, Risk Strategies-Building a Human Firewall

    Building a Human Firewall: Strengthening Your Cybersecurity Defenses

    IAEE Preferred Partner Risk Strategies emphasizes the value that a human firewall brings to your cybersecurity defenses and offers a blueprint for the integration of AI in cybersecurity, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the importance of continuous risk assessment and adaptation to emerging threats.

    Cyber threats are escalating. Reports from IBM show that cyberattacks using stolen or compromised credentials surged by 71%, year-over-year in 2023, and 32% of cyber incidents involve data theft and leaks. This indicates a shift towards stealing and selling data rather than encrypting it for ransom. The human element is often the weakest link in cybersecurity risk management. Creating a “human firewall” can significantly fortify your business against these threats. To better understand this concept, let’s explore the human factors that play a crucial role.
