What's employee negligence?
Employee negligence happens when an employee doesn't take proper care, for example opening emails that contain phishing attacks, using virus-infected USBs or having weak passwords that invite cyber criminals into your business.
How can it affect your business?
- Hurt your businesses brand or reputation

- Your customers' data could become compromised
- Your business critical information could be compromised or deleted
