We have always heard this often-repeated cliché: Humans are the weakest link in cybersecurity.
Solutions to this often centre on the three pillars of cybersecurity (people, process, technology) and persuade you as to why people are the weakest link.
This article from Bitdefender builds on that concept to form a more strategic defence against human error. To do so, they build on commonly presented solutions that typically focus on educating users and enhancing their abilities to avoid attacks exploiting human psychology (social engineering). In other words, instead of solely aiming and hoping that the weakest link (humans) is never exploited it's time for a rethink.
