When we think of cybersecurity threats, we often picture faceless hackers, sophisticated malware, or ransomware attacks.
But according to a House of Commons research briefing (May 2025)[1], the biggest threat to your business security is much closer to home – your own team.
Human error: The silent risk
A staggering 95% of successful cyber-attacks are the result of human error. That includes clicking on phishing links, using weak passwords, mishandling sensitive data or failing to update software. These aren’t malicious acts – they’re everyday mistakes made by well-meaning employees under pressure or without proper training.
But here’s the good news: 90% of these attacks could be prevented by a trained and vigilant workforce.
