Cybersecurity and privacy best practices are not just technical issues because people and organizational processes play a huge role in security and safety. Simply having strong technology alone cannot fully protect an organization from cyberattacks; workers have a significant impact on security as well. For example, a company may have well-protected servers and encrypted connections, but employees may have access to sensitive data through personal phones or computers. You never know if an employee uses their phone outside of the company. These devices can be stolen or lost.

Even if a company follows strong cybersecurity frameworks and uses secure technologies, security can still be weakened. Sensitive company information can be easily exposed if employees do not follow the rules. This shows that even the best framework does not guarantee full protection and relies heavily on workers.
