Companies often overlook an important risk factor when assessing security threats - poorly trained or careless employees. For example, employees might steal trade secrets and other sensitive information to start their own business. Or they might inadvertently disclose data by storing their passwords in insecure places like sticky notes or Word files. Employees can also fall victim to social engineering such as phishing campaigns, where there is an attempt to obtain critical information like user data through fake emails, websites, and text messages.
