Human Risk and AI-Driven Cyber Threats

Written by SONNY SEHGAL | CEO

The Rising Challenge: Human Risk and AI-Driven Cyber Threats

The 2024 Mimecast State of Email and Collaboration Security report reveals alarming insights into the growing landscape of cyber threats. Two standout risks have taken centre stage: human error and AI-fueled cyberattacks.

Human Risk

Employees, while crucial to any organisation, remain the weakest link in the security chain. Whether it’s clicking on phishing emails, using weak passwords, or failing to recognise suspicious activity, human error continues to be a primary target for cybercriminals. The report underscores that over 90% of successful breaches involve some form of human error. These incidents can lead to significant financial, reputational, and operational damage.

AI in Cyber Attacks

As artificial intelligence grows in sophistication, cybercriminals are leveraging AI to launch more targeted and advanced attacks. AI can help bad actors generate personalised phishing emails, automate the spread of malware, and bypass traditional security measures with alarming precision. This creates an urgent need for companies to deploy intelligent and adaptive cybersecurity solutions that can counter these AI-driven threats.

Transputec and Mimecast: Your Trusted Allies in Cybersecurity

At Transputec, we believe that cybersecurity is not just a technical challenge—it’s a human one. That’s why we work closely with Mimecast, a leader in email and collaboration security, to provide solutions that address both the human element and the advanced technological threats businesses face today. Here’s how our combined solutions can help protect your organisation:

1. Reducing Human Risk through Awareness and Training

One of the key ways we help businesses mitigate human risk is by empowering employees to become the first line of defence. Together with Mimecast, we offer advanced security awareness training programs that educate staff on how to identify and avoid potential cyber threats. These programs simulate real-life phishing attacks, helping employees recognise malicious emails before they can cause harm.

Moreover, we offer tools to monitor and assess user behaviour, identifying risky patterns early on. This data-driven approach allows businesses to target training and interventions where they are needed most, thereby reducing human error and fortifying the human side of cybersecurity.

2. AI-Enhanced Threat Detection and Response

To combat AI-driven cyberattacks, Transputec and Mimecast deploy cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies designed to detect and neutralise threats in real time. These intelligent systems analyse vast amounts of data from email, network traffic, and user behaviour to identify unusual patterns that may indicate an attack.

By utilising AI to fight AI, we ensure that your security systems remain proactive and agile, capable of stopping attacks before they can do significant damage. The ability to adapt to new, unknown threats as they emerge is crucial in this AI-driven cybersecurity landscape.

3. Multi-layered Protection

At Transputec, we take a multi-layered approach to security, ensuring that your business is protected on multiple fronts. Our collaboration with Mimecast allows us to provide a comprehensive suite of services, including:

  • Email Security: Blocking malicious emails, including phishing and impersonation attempts.
  • Data Loss Prevention: Ensuring sensitive information is not accidentally or maliciously shared.
  • Threat Intelligence: Providing real-time insights into the latest cyber threats and trends.

By integrating these services, we create a seamless defence system that protects your business from all angles—email, collaboration tools, and the cloud—giving you peace of mind that your data and assets are secure.

4. Resilience and Rapid Recovery

No defence is infallible, and that’s why it’s essential to have strong recovery systems in place. Transputec, in partnership with Mimecast, offers advanced cyber resilience solutions that help businesses quickly recover from any attack. Whether it’s restoring email access after a ransomware attack or recovering lost data, we ensure your business experiences minimal downtime and disruption.
