A business can have decent antivirus, a firewall, and every setting configured properly, and still get caught out, because most successful attacks don't defeat the technology at all. They talk a person into doing something ordinary.
The stat worth sitting with
Cyber security awareness research has repeatedly found that well over 90 per cent of breaches trace back to human error somewhere in the chain, a rushed click, a convincing email, a habit formed years ago and never questioned. Not a sophisticated hack, an ordinary moment.
The scam isn't getting past the software. It's getting past a person having an ordinary day.
Why this is actually good news
Technical fixes cost money and require expertise most small businesses don't have on staff. Awareness costs almost nothing and doesn't require anyone to become an IT expert. A team that knows what an invoice scam looks like, that pauses before clicking an unexpected link, is doing more for the business than another piece of software would.
What it looks like in practice
Not a once-a-year training session nobody remembers by March. Short, regular, low-pressure reminders, the kind that fit into five minutes rather than an afternoon, tied to what's actually happening right now rather than a generic slideshow.
