Ascend Technologies wrote this guide on why people, not technology, are the most common cause of security incidents, and what to do about it through awareness training, phishing simulation, and access design. It is written for leaders who have invested in tools and still see risk walking in through the inbox. Teaser: The strongest technical controls still route around the person who clicks. This guide covers how human error drives most incidents and how awareness training, phishing simulation, and least-privilege access reduce that risk.
