Definition of human risk in cybersecurity

Human risk in cybersecurity refers to the potential security threats that arise from human behavior, decisions, and mistakes. Stress, lack of clarity, habits, and pressure can all lead people to unintentionally expose organizations to cyber risk. Human risk highlights that people are not the problem, but a critical part of the solution.
