Arctic Wolf this week published its 2024 Human Risk Behavior Report, and it may (or may not) come as a surprise that, despite the continued focus on AI, many organizations are neglecting their basic security practices. That includes executive leadership!
One example from Arctic Wolf’s report found that 80% of IT leaders are confident their organization won’t fall for a phishing attack, but 64% have clicked on phishing links themselves. Despite this, 27% of IT leaders have terminated an employee for falling victim to a scam.
Additionally, Arctic Wolf’s report found:
- 68% of IT and cybersecurity leaders admit to reusing system passwords.
- More than a third (36%) of IT leaders have disabled security measures on their systems.
- 60% of IT leaders say their organization has an AI policy—but less than a third (29%) of end users are aware of it.
- While 85% of IT leaders think employees feel comfortable reporting security incidents to the appropriate channels, in reality, only 77% of end users do.
