Cybersecurity starts with you

"We have antivirus, so we’re probably covered."

"Our IT consultant takes care of that."

"We don’t really have anything secret anyway."

We hear this a lot. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself. But relying entirely on technology for security is like locking the door and leaving the key under the mat.

The human factor is often the weakest link

When things get busy, manual security work is one of the first things to slip. You trust the tools to cover it. But most attacks today don’t target systems — they target employees. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 60% of all data breaches involve the human factor, like phishing or social engineering.

Scams are designed to fool regular employees and not security experts. By the time someone realizes it’s an attack, it’s often too late. It usually starts with something small: clicking a link, skipping a password update, or connecting a personal app to a work account. Suddenly, inboxes are exposed and things escalate quickly. Most of it could have been prevented with simple, clear routines.

There are powerful tools out there but they’re not enough

Antivirus. Firewalls. Threat monitoring. They’re important — and we know, because we’re building one. But even the best tools won’t fully replace responsibility, routines, and awareness. If employees don’t know what to do when a suspicious email shows up, it doesn’t matter how advanced your stack is.

Secure behaviors can't be bought

A team where security feels unclear, inconvenient, or like someone else’s problem is a risk. Not because the software failed, but because the responsibility was never clear. Building a strong security culture doesn’t mean another awareness campaign. It means security becomes part of how you work. Routines are followed. Ownership is clear. People know who to turn to and feel confident doing it.

If you want to reduce the risk of a breach, start by making employees aware..
