Research from cyber security firm Egress found that 94% of organizations globally have experienced a serious email security incident in the past 12 months, and 4 out of 10 employees responsible for email security breaches over the last year have been sacked.
If four in ten are being fired for email security breaches, then maybe it's not the employees who should be fired but those at the top who haven't invested in solutions that do not rely on or require human beings to be perfect detectors of phishing attempts, BEC, or other social engineering attacks involving email? Or who haven't just accepted that shit will happen? And now that AI is making such attacks even more convincing or difficult to detect, firing employees for falling prey is even less justifiable or effective.
