I heard you’re tightening up the firewall against quantum attacks. How do you factor in human error—those unpredictable edge cases that no algorithm can predict?
Human error is the weakest link, so I build layers that tolerate it. First, I enforce strict access controls and audit trails, so any mistake is logged immediately. Then I deploy anomaly detection that flags deviations from normal patterns—those are often the first sign of an error. Finally, I schedule regular drills and mandatory refresher training so that staff learn the proper procedures and the system learns from the failures they create. This way the firewall adapts to both technology threats and the human ones.
Sounds solid, but if a rogue intern accidentally clicks a phishing link, your anomaly detector will catch it only after damage. Maybe bake in a “human firewall” layer that requires a secondary confirmation for anything that looks suspicious. Just a thought.
That’s a reasonable add‑on. I’ll add a secondary confirmation step for any action flagged as high risk, and make it mandatory before the system commits the change. It won’t slow the workflow much if we use a concise, single‑click prompt, but it will stop the majority of accidental clicks. I’ll roll it out in the next patch and monitor the impact on incident rates.
Nice move—just keep an eye on users who’ll find ways to skip that click when it slows them down. Those workarounds often reveal the weakest point.
I’ll set up usage monitoring to flag any repeated skips of the secondary prompt. If someone finds a shortcut, I’ll investigate the pattern, patch the loophole, and update the training. It’s the only way to keep the system from learning that the “human firewall” can be bypassed.
