Many leaders assume cybercriminals pose the biggest threat to their organization — but the most common risks actually come from inside. Employees can unintentionally expose your business by clicking a bad link, opening an infected file, downloading unsafe software, or using weak passwords. These mistakes don’t make them careless; they make them human.

The most effective defense is ongoing cybersecurity training that helps employees recognize and stop threats in real time. Simulated phishing exercises and hands-on learning build awareness and reinforce safer habits across your entire team. Investing in training is one of the most impactful ways to reduce ransomware risk.
