Do you know what percentage of your vendors are at higher risk of ransomware attack? Can you drill-in to see exactly who? Or more importantly, why? Or how effective your vendor program has been in reducing risk to the business over the last 12 months? In the ever-connected world of partners and suppliers, vendors and even more vendors, the line between ‘their risk’ and ‘your risk’ disappeared. And what security and compliance teams need more of is not more data, but insights.

Today, the human factor still plays a role in most cybersecurity incidents. Human error is involved in 74% of data breaches. It’s essential to shift towards designing human-centric controls that promote and facilitate the use of responsible cybersecurity practices among employees.

User credentials are the information required to authenticate a user's identity and grant them access to a system or application. Typically, this includes a username or email address and a password. While a username can be stored as plaintext in a database, sensitive information like email addresses or passwords should not. If a malicious actor gains access to your database where you store this information, you don't want to hand over this information to them easily.
