European companies warn that the biggest cyber risk is the human factor

SAPO11 September 2026 at 12:50

A new study by Kaspersky reveals that European companies consider the human factor as the biggest cybersecurity risk. This conclusion highlights that it is often the organization's own employees who represent the greatest vulnerability to digital threats.

The Kaspersky study, a computer security company, was recently released to analyze the main challenges faced by European companies in the field of cybersecurity. The research seeks to identify the main threats and vulnerabilities in the sector.

According to the results of this study, organizations recognize that their employees can unintentionally facilitate cyber attacks, whether through phishing emails, weak passwords, or lack of digital security training. This perception reinforces the importance of investing in employee training and awareness.
