As your enterprise virtualizes and leverages cyber technology to speed productivity, the incidence of cybercrime will, of course, increase. Similarly, as your employees’ behavior, as consumers, drives the technology they use (BYOD), the cybercrime cat will continue to be let out of the bag. What can any enterprise, security leader or technology truly do to eliminate or prevent cyber terror, espionage, theft, network intrusions and major fraud when the humans involved are making it so easy?
In the connected world, there are only three components that can cause failure: hardware, software, and skinware. For example, with hardware, your hard drive can crash. Or with software, an operating system may have a continuous loop in which you start your computer and an error message indicates it has encountered a problem and has to restart and that repeats until you cry. Or a skinware issue, which is, well.... you. You don’t know what you are doing, and you are the problem.
