High-risk users represent approximately 10% of the worker population and are found in every department and function of the organization, according to Elevate Security research.

High-risk users represent a sizable threat to the organization.

While they make up a small percentage of the population, high-risk users represent a sizable threat to the organization.

Some areas of organizations pose higher risk than others.

High-risk users were found throughout the organization, with some departments including customer service, R&D, and data analysis having more high-risk users than others.

"Risk is not uniformly distributed among organizations, that much is clear from the results of our research. In fact, some users represent orders of magnitude more risk than others," said Cyentia Institute Partner and Data Scientist, Ben Edwards.
