Essential Cybersecurity in 3 Layers: People, Process & Technology

This infographic breaks down the three essential layers of cybersecurity: People, Process, and Technology. While businesses often focus on tools like firewalls and endpoint protection, attackers exploit weaknesses in any layer and human error, weak processes, or misconfigured systems are behind 95% of breaches. The People layer remains the most vulnerable, with insider-driven breaches rising sharply due to phishing, poor password practices, and social engineering. The Process layer is equally critical; nearly half of organisations still lack formal incident response plans, leaving them unprepared when attacks occur. Finally, the Technology layer, from cloud misconfigurations to outdated security tools, continues to be a top source of breaches. The key insight is that one weak layer is all it takes for attackers to succeed. Protecting your organisation means building resilience across all three layers with a strong security culture, clear governance, and well-configured tools.
