How Lucid ’ s specialist service can help prevent cyber threats from damaging your business ...

In today ’ s digital age , businesses have become increasingly reliant on technology for daily operations . This has made them more vulnerable to cyber threats . In fact , cybercrime has become the second most reported economic crime in the world , according to the latest Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey .

While businesses have to take measures to protect their systems from external threats , the biggest cyber risk for businesses may be the human factor .
Lucid Technology Solutions ’ Lucidsecure service can help protect businesses from these human-induced threats by providing an AI-driven assessment and continuous learning tool to raise employee awareness and actively train a company ’ s team to reduce this risk factor .
What is the human factor ? The human factor refers to the potential for employees to make mistakes or act carelessly while using the company ’ s technology and networks .
These mistakes can open the door to cybercriminals , who can then attack the business ’ systems and steal valuable data .
In addition to mistakes , the human factor can also refer to malicious insiders . These are people who have access to a company ’ s networks and systems , and who may be tempted to use this access for their own personal gain .
They may also use their access to steal confidential data or to launch attacks against the company .
How can Lucidsecure help ? Lucidsecure helps to establish a “ security culture ”. A security culture aims to encourage all employees to think about and approach security through the same values , encouraging people to follow the desired behaviours that will keep staff , customers and suppliers safe . Building this culture requires a number of factors , including consistency , time and effort . Here are some of the key building blocks to creating a security-savvy workforce .
At the core is our security awareness training solution , and this is one of the most effective approaches for reducing human cyber risk , with businesses expecting to see a return on investment of between 69 and 562 per cent ( Osterman Research ). Delivered via computer-based training , these sessions should be regular , short and cover a variety of core information security and compliance topics .
So , what do you need to know ? The human factor is the biggest cyber risk businesses face . All it takes is one careless employee or malicious insider to expose a business to serious cyber threats . Lucid Technology Solutions ’ Lucidsecure service can help protect businesses by providing an AI-driven security awareness solution that reduces one of the biggest risks to the security of your data .
