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.
