“Cybercrime is one of the biggest risks of this decade. Any door is only as strong as the person holding the key. The ‘human factor’ in Cybercrime is underestimated. Human error is the main cause of 95% of Cybersecurity breaches.“
Mark T. Hofmann, Crime- & Intelligence Analyst
Targeting small and medium-sized businesses - Cybercrime: The dark side of digitalization
Accelerated by the coronavirus and rapid digitalization, the phenomenon of Cybercrime continues to grow. In large numbers, medium-sized companies are attacked and blackmailed. This is where the cost-benefit ratio is best from the perpetrators’ point of view. The professionalism of Cybercrime has also increased massively. Cybercrime has created its own supply chains. The Crime-As-a-Service phenomenon in particular is being watched with concern: Criminals (or groups) assemble ready-made “Hacking Tool Kits” and sell or rent them to other Cybercriminals. This reduces the barrier to entry. Even without advanced IT skills, breaches are suddenly possible. A Cyberattack often means a loss of reputation, not just data loss. Customers and partners start to distance themselves and a downward spiral begins, which not all companies can survive. Thinking that your company is too small or irrelevant for cybercriminals ist not professional, it’s naïve. Human error is the main cause of 95% of Cyber Security Breaches. Humans are the weakest link in Cybersecurity. Raising awareness, training and inspiring employees is a good investment.
