The report identifies endpoint data loss, excessive user permissions, and dormant accounts as the main vulnerabilities. Deficiencies in data loss prevention tools, data storage vulnerabilities, and user authentication are contributing factors to these risks. It emphasizes the importance of properly implementing security measures and addressing the major risks.
