The Human Factor in Data Security and Why Technology Is Not Enough?

In the world of cybersecurity, we often talk about firewalls, encrypted connections, backups, proactive monitoring. But even the most sophisticated technology can be compromised by a single human error.

According to a global study, 95% of data-loss incidents do not start with a hacker breach but with human error: a misconfigured server, a weak password, open access, a fake email, a procedural oversight.

This is precisely why modern protection is no longer just a technological issue, but also an organizational one.

And here comes the key difference between a company’s attempts to maintain its own internal infrastructure and the standardized, certified approach of a professional data center that follows strict security procedures and policies.

Why the Human Factor Is the Most Risky Link in Security

For every organization, one of the most vulnerable points in terms of security is people. Employees are not IT experts, yet they have access to sensitive systems. At the same time, many companies choose “easy and quick” solutions to save time, skip key procedures, and under heavy workload make compromises with many processes. All this happens alongside the lack of constant control and 24/7 monitoring.

The result — the risk that even a single incorrectly performed system update, wrong network configuration, or accidentally deleted file can halt the operations of an entire business.

Why the Risk Is Minimal in a Data Center

Professional data centers are built around the principle of zero tolerance for such errors and omissions. To achieve this, however, technology must be supported by organizational culture, control, and discipline. For most organizations, maintaining the required highest level of security is extremely difficult, and they often miss one or more of the following:

• Clear procedures and fully documented traceability of interventions on the infrastructure and equipment;
   
• Strict physical and digital access control, 24/7 surveillance and security, and role-based segmentation for employee authorization. In a typical office environment, IT department members usually have access to all IT processes and systems.
   
• A team dedicated solely to security and infrastructure — critical systems, networks, security standards, and business continuity. Often in companies, the IT department, in addition to all this, is also responsible for hardware and peripheral maintenance, as well as other non-critical processes.
   

High-class data centers, for which this is the core business, focus resources on continuous service improvement through simulated emergency scenarios, additional certification and audits for service quality and information security, selection and continuous training of specialized personnel.
