The weakest link in Cybersecurity are us the people no matter how we implement security measure

in terms of hardware and software component just to defend our personal data if we encounter a so-
called human error which nobody has control over it, especially in an organization it is required to
empower your employee to avoid or lessen data security threats. For some instance, if we are
equipped with training. We might reduce data security threats. Some organizations consider their
human power to be their strongest asset which helps detect and classify threats a serious or weak
one. It is hard to accept that people are weakest link, but there are researches that consider human
to be the vulnerable or weakest link in Cybersecurity.
