uman error is still a major vulnerability in digital security. Sometimes it happens by accident; other times, because of bad intentions; and it’ s often outside the control of security teams. Attackers usually rely on social engineering and phishing to gain access to networks.
Attackers might send realistic emails to steal login details, then move from IT systems to operational technology networks. Even after years of training, human error remains a common entry point, showing that education by itself isn’ t enough to keep systems secure.
But for Mathieu Manalo, Chief Information Security Officer at ORIX METRO Leasing and Finance, employees can actually be a company’ s greatest strength when it comes to digital security.
“ We have a saying in security that people are the weakest link in the chain. But I would like to challenge that idea and say if you can train your people, they can be the strongest link in that chain – [ but ] only if you can train them well.
“ I wanted to change the perspective that security is not a blocker, but it’ s an enabler to a secure way of doing business,” he says.
