Wouldn’t it be great if your cybersecurity strategy only had to focus on just a few threats? Sigh… if only life were that easy.

According to their newly released Top Cybersecurity Threats in 2023 (client access required), there are five threats to be concerned about.
New data puts the spotlight on the human factor in U.K. cyber attacks, where users continue to be susceptible to social engineering, creating the so-called “Human Risk.” Here at KnowBe4, we’re obviously big believers in the fact that users are a source of risk when it comes to organizational security.
