Human error is not only the most human error chemistry important factor affecting security, but it is also a key factor in aviation accidents and in medical errors. Information security risk managers and chief information security officers can benefit from the insights of studies on the human factor within these industries to reduce human error related to security. What Is Human Error? Human errors are usually defined as circumstances in which planned actions, decisions or behaviors reduce — or have the potential to reduce — quality, safety and security. Examples of human error involved in information security include the following: System misconfiguration; Poor patch management; Use of default usernames and passwords or easy-to-guess passwords; Lost devices; Disclosure of information via an incorrect email address; Double-clicking on an unsafe URL or attachment; Sharing passwords with others; Leaving computers unattended when outside the workplace; Using personally owned mobile devices that connect to the organization's network. Human-factor engineers in aviation assume that serious incidents are not caused by just one human error, but by an unfortunate alignment of several individual events. Incidents happen when a series of minor events occur consecutively and/or concurrently. It is easy t

theft. CEOs and IT professionals face public embarrassment as they attempt to apologize for their organizations’ cyber security shortcomings. It’s no wonder that the rhetoric coming out of these press conferences always points the finger at sophisticated hackers that are able to overcome the best cyber defenses. Unfortunately, the truth of cyber attacks hits much closer to home. Statistics vary depending on who you ask, but it’s safe to say that well over half of computer security breaches are caused by human error or negligence. All it takes is one employee opening an attachment on an email or sending work home to a personal, unencrypted email for the most secure firewall to be breached. Employees can also lose sensitive data on unprotected laptops, cell phones, and thumb drives. Even third party vendors can open the door to a malicious attack. Security experts were able to access Google’s Sydney, Australia, headquarters through its building management company. A heating/cooling system attached to the same network that holds sensitive information in your human resources database, for example, could prove disastrous. Keep in mind that third party vendors may not have the same level of cyber protection in place as your systems, creating a chink in your cyber armor. Clearly, human behavior is a key component in your cyber security defenses. Do you have training and policies in place to address the human element of cyber risk? All employees should be taught to take these precautions to help protect your network: Use strong passwords, and change them frequently. Don’t assume every employee knows how to create a strong password. If possible, configure your network to require passwords that meet your parameters and automatically require users to change passwords on a set schedule. A good rule of thumb would require passwords with a minimum of eight characters, including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Keep your
