Humans: Still the Strongest (and Weakest) Link in Security

We’ve spent decades building smarter firewalls, stronger encryption, and AI-powered detection systems.

Yet — one misplaced click, one reused password, or one “urgent” phishing email can undo it all.

Technology can only do so much. It’s people who ultimately make or break security. That’s where the term “social engineering” comes from.

Your employees, colleagues, partners, and even customers are your first line of defense — and sometimes, your biggest vulnerability.

Training, awareness, and a culture of caution aren’t optional add-ons; they’re the foundation.

Security doesn’t start with code. It starts with behavior.

So next time you review your security strategy, ask yourself:

👉 Are you investing as much in people as you are in technology?

At Griffo, our friendly AI tool for Slack helps teams do exactly that — by keeping awareness alive and protecting you from social engineering attacks in a simple, human way.

Because in security, awareness isn’t just power — it’s protection.
