Why Human Risk Management is Key to Data Protection
Personal data is constantly being processed and transferred in numerous ways - whether in healthcare applications, store loyalty programmes, during purchases or while browsing online. With such a vast amount of personal data in circulation, the likelihood of errors occurring is heightened. It feels like almost every day we hear a story of another company being breached - with data being stolen by cybercriminals looking to steal an individual's identity, access accounts or commit fraud. Things are also getting easier for cybercriminals, thanks to technology advancements like generative AI assisting with more convincing phishing emails and deepfake content.
