In confirmed cyber security incidents, Verizon found three factors to be behind 87% of breaches - miscellaneous errors, system intrusion, and social engineering.
Globally, a total of 68% of breaches involved a non-malicious human action, showing a need for improved training and awareness of cyber security best practices.
Organizations should prioritize training and awareness to combat human-induced breaches, as reported by Verizon Business vice president of EMEA, Sanjiv Gossain.
An increase in self-reporting of cyber incidents indicates a positive shift in the workforce's awareness of cybersecurity importance, according to Verizon.
