Ransomware: Defending against costly collaboration attacks
To understand and block ransomware, security leaders must shift their focus to human risk, adopting an actionable framework for understanding, mitigating, and recovering from ransomware.
Human risk has surpassed technology gaps as the biggest cybersecurity challenge for organizations around the globe, as demonstrated in Mimecast’s State of Human Risk 2025 report. Based on interviews with 1,100 IT security and IT decision makers, despite having spent billions to strengthen technology stacks, breaches continue unabated, mostly due to human risk. In fact, insider threats, credential misuse, and human missteps now account for most security incidents.
The key takeaway? Humans remain the weakest link in cybersecurity, with 60% of breaches involving human risk. Of these breaches, just 8% of employees are responsible for 80% of incidents.
Read the white paper to learn how human risk, coupled with evolving attack methodologies, amplifies vulnerability. Learn how to apply adaptive, multi-layered defense strategies and effective human risk management (HRM) to mitigate cyber risks, minimize organizational impact, and ensure business continuity.
