Humans as a security risk: The biggest weak point in IT security

Technical protective measures alone are not enough—people remain the biggest security risk. Cybercriminals use social engineering, phishing, and manipulation techniques to gain access to sensitive data. Mistakes such as weak passwords, careless clicks on malicious links, or passing on confidential information can have serious consequences.

Regular training and strong security awareness are essential to minimize risks. Only those who recognize potential dangers and act consciously can help close security gaps and effectively protect companies and personal data.
