87% of Companies: Untrained Staff Is the Greatest Cyber Risk

87% of companies consider that untrained staff is the greatest cyber risk, according to Willis Towers Watson and ESI ThoughtLab.

The Report

The Willis Towers Watson report is based on:

  • A global survey of 1,300 organizations.
  • Meetings with an advisory panel.
  • In-depth interviews with leading experts.
  • Benchmarking analysis.

The research was conducted in conjunction with a coalition of sponsors that included Protiviti, Baker McKenzie, CyberCube, HP Inc., KnowBe4, Opus, and Security Industry.

Key Findings

The report shows, among other insights, that 73% of companies plan to use behavioural analysis as a cybersecurity tool in the next two years.

Kymatio’s Note

In order to maximize the use of behavioural analysis tools, it is necessary to combine them with an internal risk assessment tool that takes into account the human factor. Otherwise, organizations will continue to face a large exposure to internal incidents.
