Previously, all cybersecurity issues were tended to by the IT department. Today, cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility, and as individual users, we could be a target for the next big cyberattack. This is precisely why security awareness has become one of the most important investments that an organization can make. It only takes one user to click on a phishing email to allow a cybercriminal to breach your organization’s network and steal your data.
Security awareness is a formal process of training and educating an organization about the importance and protection of information security. Employees need to be made aware that there are people who may accidentally or deliberately want to steal, damage, or misuse the data stored in your organization’s computer systems or network.
When employees are educated on their roles and responsibilities in protecting their organization’s information assets, they can help prevent potential cyberattacks against their organization.
End users are often the weakest link in the information security chain, and cybercriminals know this better than anyone else. For cybercriminals, your organization’s size, the strength of your organization, or revenue size does not matter. If they target your data, they will stop at nothing until they have their hands on it, especially if they can exploit your weakest link through a simple social engineered attack like phishing.
Hence, security awareness training is one of the best ways to improve staff awareness surrounding information securty and thereby minimize the risk of cyberattacks.
To prevent cyberattacks, such as phishing attacks, tailgating, ransomware attacks, and more. Studies have shown that more than 90% of data breaches are attributes to social engineering attacks. Investing in security awareness training can protect your assets and also prevent financial and reputational damage.
Organizations often look to security awareness for the following reasons:
They understand the importance of changing the attitude and behavior of their employees toward cybersecurity.
They are required by law to implement security awareness training programs and to demonstrate compliance with certain information security frameworks, such as PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA Privacy Rule, and more.
