1 point
install antivirus software
implement a password manager
hire more it staff
block all external emails

Explanation:

Rachel Tobac, a cybersecurity expert, emphasizes that a significant portion of hacking relies on human - related factors. Social engineering (a human - based aspect) is a major vector in cyberattacks. Regarding the first step for companies, password management is crucial as weak or reused passwords are common entry points for attackers. Installing antivirus software is more of a technical safeguard but not the first step in a holistic approach. Hiring more IT staff can be part of a long - term strategy but not the immediate first step. Blocking all external emails is an extreme and often impractical measure that can hinder business operations.

Answer:

For the first question: 80% human - based, 20% technical.
For the second question: Implement a password manager.
