The #1 data loss threat isn’t what you think
Did you know that 40% of employees send misdirected emails? It’s no surprise that “data emailed to the wrong recipient” is one of the most common causes of data loss incidents reported in the U.S. According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), human error—including misdirected emails—is a leading threat to organizational cyber hygiene.
One small mistake can lead to:
- Regulatory fines (HIPAA, GLBA, CCPA and beyond)
- Brand damage and lost trust
- Customer churn and compliance headaches
