The majority of cybersecurity incidents are the result of human error. No matter how often employees are trained or phished or new technology is deployed, it all comes back to the people. According to the Verizon DBIR 2023, 74% of breaches involve the human element – making it still the single most significant risk to organizations, a continually relevant industry trend to call out that is a consistent concern for enterprise security.
“Partnering with Zscaler represents an important milestone in our strategic growth plans,” said Ashley Rose, CEO of Living Security. “Together, we will deliver cybersecurity’s most powerful solutions that enable CISOs, risk managers, and security operations teams worldwide to address a variety of security challenges to better manage human risk, resulting in a more secure environment for the enterprise.”
