82 percent of data breaches are related to human error, according to the cybersecurity experts who participated in Sicur Cyber, part of the International Security Fair held from 27 February to 1 March at Ifema Madrid. The speakers also analysed the regulatory framework related to private security and highlighted, among other issues, the importance of controlled access for any cybersecurity plan.
In her speech on cyber manipulation, Elisa Yamaguchi of Sosafe gave warnings about and explained how a cyber-attack unfolds among a company's employees and how to "minimise the damage by being ready to identify such attacks". She stated that “82% of data breaches are related to human error” and added that “we are facing a landscape of digital threats which are more complex than ever, in which fields such as artificial intelligence, phishing, supply chain attacks, ransomware, geopolitical crises and MFA attacks among others come into play”.

In her opinion, “these types of attack work because they play on the victim’s sensitivities”.
