Security Breaches Interpretation

While our digital walls are increasingly reinforced with firewalls and MFA, the statistics reveal a glaring truth: the human element, from stolen credentials to phishing and insider threats, remains the most persistent and costly vulnerability, proving that in cybersecurity, the weakest link isn't a server rack but the person who, despite all warnings, might still click that link.
