      "Employees are a major source of cybersecurity risks, with 90% of data breaches in 2024 predicted to involve human error. This can be due to things like reusing passwords across multiple applications, sharing sensitive information on unauthorised apps, or falling victim to phishing scams. "

      Solution

      "CultureAI uses software to analyse employee behaviour and detect risky actions that could compromise cybersecurity. This allows businesses to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities, such as employees using weak passwords, sharing sensitive data on unapproved apps, or interacting with phishing attempts. The platform then provides targeted coaching to employees on good cyber practice, helping to reduce the risk of security breaches."
