Believe it or not, if you were to rank your business’ greatest threats, risk factors, and vulnerabilities, your users would most likely belong somewhere toward the top. Human error is a big challenge to your security simply because cybercriminals understand that your employees are, in fact, human and will, in fact, make mistakes.

Let’s explore how cyberattacks exploit this tendency and how you can better protect your business from the ramifications.

We recently wrote an article showcasing the benefits of managed IT services. In short, we know a lot of IT companies that claim to offer managed IT services, but really just cover the bare minimum in order to get you into a contract.
