80% of companies say that an increased cybersecurity risk caused by human factors has posed a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in times of heightened stress.

Human error has been the biggest cybersecurity challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to CISOs.

The report found that over two thirds of consumers were concerned about their cybersecurity but didn't know what to do about it, and nearly half of respondents were concerned about their ability to manage stress during the pandemic.

Stress affects different personality types in different ways, meaning that each individual employee has their own specific blind spot when it comes to cybersecurity.

The paper therefore encourages businesses to implement a holistic cybersecurity strategy that takes individual personalities into account.
