HUMAN ERROR IS THE NUMBER ONE CYBER SECURITY
THREAT TO BUSINESS
IBM has conducted studies that has occurred over 100 countries. Those studies collaborate the root contributing factors that go into those threats. All the studied countries had something in common which was human error. “Human error was a major contributing cause in 95% of all breaches,” according to the IBM Cybersecurity Index report.
SECURITY CHALLENGES
Product of lifetime
IT systems lifetime is 2-4 years (e.g. laptops), but IoT/OT systems (e.g. robotic ams lifetime is 10-15 years or even longer)
Centralized architecture
Manufacturing systems are modular and centralized security architecture, bring complexity on expansion. Also a compromised device can disrupt the whole architecture
Updatability
Security measures need an overall updates every year. Updating security measures can lead to occupational of more computational resources.
Attacks Invesibility
While attach maliciousness has increased, the attack visibility has been decreased.

Misdelivery
Sending something to a wrong recipient, it is easy for any user to accidentally send confidential information to the wrong person if they aren't careful.
Password
123456 remains the most popular pwd in the world, and 45% of people reuse the password of their main email account on other service.
Patching
Cyber criminals are constantly looking for new exploits in software. When exploits are discovered, the software developers race to fix the vulnerability and send out the patch to all users before cyber criminals can compromise more users. This is why it is essential that users install security updates on their computers as soon as they are available. Unfortunately, more often than not end-users delay installation of updates - and with dire results.
The 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack affected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide, costing companies and organizations millions of dollars in damages. Yet the exploit used by the attack, dubbed 'EternalBlue', was patched by Microsoft months before the attacks took place. If the affected computers had just had the security update downloaded and installed, they would never have been compromised.
