It is often said that the human factor is the most important part of cybersecurity. In many ways this is true. Cybersecurity tech plays a vital role in everything from blocking dangerous traffic and spotting suspicious activity on an account, to offering the kind of 24/7 surveillance that simply isn't practical (or possible) for humans to carry out themselves. But ultimately, this is only a part of cybersecurity.

Some 90% of security breaches can be avoided by using multi-factor authentication (MFA). Yet most enterprises still rely only on usernames and passwords - and avoid other strong second-factor authentication methods - to make user sign-on both safe and convenient. Our addiction to passwords seems to be a long-standing issue. In order to stay secure, users have to make passwords complicated, only to spend time remembering and then forgetting them, which has resulted in more IT support.
