For many years, ‘human error’ has been consistently named as the biggest contributing factor to cyber security breaches in the industry, with new research even stating that 90-95% of all cyber security breaches are due to people making mistakes.
This informal meetup, hosted by Reed’s technology division, was a chance to allow cyber security professionals to discuss this controversial topic. Our speaker, Mike Thompson, Information Security Manager at Zen Internet, used this opportunity to debunk the myth - arguing that people are in fact the strongest element of the cyber security chain.
At the end of the session, attendees had the opportunity to participate in an interactive Q&A with Mike, where they had the chance to ask him questions about his cyber security experience and invaluable knowledge.
