End-User Risks: Enterprises on Edge Amid Growing Concerns of the Next Major Breach

 

The shift to remote work has been transformative for enterprises, bringing newfound flexibility but also a myriad of security challenges. Among the rising concerns, a prominent fear looms large – the potential for end-users to inadvertently become the cause of the next major breach. 

As organizations grapple with this unsettling prospect, the need for a robust security strategy that addresses both technological and human factors becomes increasingly imperative.
