The Real-World Risk of Human Error
Recent incidents in the defense industrial base show that many breaches trace back to simple mistakes:
- Mislabeling or failing to tag CUI properly
- Sharing files with the wrong recipients
- Using personal or noncompliant devices
- Clicking on phishing links, even with email security in place
The consequences? Loss of government contracts, failed CMMC audits, or worse—real-world exposure of sensitive defense information.
Building a Human-Centric Defense Strategy
Technology alone can’t stop a breach. Organizations need a layered defense that addresses:
- Security awareness training tailored to CUI handling
- Role-based access control (RBAC) to limit unnecessary exposure
- Automated classification and DLP to reduce human error
- Behavior analytics to detect anomalies before they escalate
This human-centered approach must be embedded in daily operations—not just policy binders.
