It’s not just technology that holds the key to cybersecurity. Humans, the guardians and sometimes architects of these technologies, significantly influence security posture. New studies show that over 95% of breaches involve human error, a startling statistic that highlights the importance of education.
Employee training programs are crucial in building a robust cybersecurity strategy. With regular workshops and stress tests, businesses can avert potential threats before they penetrate. Yet, it’s shocking how many companies still overlook this critical aspect of security.
Consider that a well-informed employee can spot phishing attempts instantaneously, saving a business from possible damages. Education programs are becoming increasingly sophisticated, leveraging virtual reality platforms to simulate attacks and train staff in real-world scenarios.
But even with the best training, gaps remain. The question then becomes not if there will be gaps, but how severe they might be. Next, we dive into a common yet underestimated vulnerability that plagues organizations. Prepare for surprise.
