According to Kaspersky’s IT Security Economics report, 88% of companies experienced network security incidents in 2024, making it the most common type of attack. Over 60% faced attempts to execute malicious code or take control of compromised systems. Large enterprises were most affected, but small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) also struggled, with employee errors contributing significantly.
Key Threats: Network Security Incidents
Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities through malware, phishing, ransomware, and social engineering. The rise of remote work and BYOD policies has heightened risks, exposing networks to breaches from various devices and locations.
Human Error
Employee mistakes or negligence, such as falling for phishing scams, caused 42% of incidents, particularly in SMBs lacking resources for robust security measures. These errors often lead to severe consequences, including financial losses and reputational damage.
Recommendations
Organizations should combine advanced technological solutions like Kaspersky’s EDR/XDR with employee cyber-awareness training. Regular audits and proactive monitoring can mitigate risks. Balancing technology and education is essential for protecting sensitive data and maintaining business integrity.
