Beyond Awareness Training
By now, most cybersecurity leaders know that people are their organisations’ biggest attack surface. Remote and hybrid work, coupled with a shift to the cloud, has only complicated this challenge.
According to the “2021 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR)”, 85% of breaches involved the human element—whether triggered by users clicking on a malicious link in a phishing email or sharing credentials outside the corporation.
Indeed, a recent Proofpoint survey shows that 75% of CISOs in the U.S. and 58% of CISOs around the world agree that human error is their biggest security vulnerability.2 These days, anyone can be a target—and anyone can hurt their organisation’s security posture.
To educate their users, and with the best intentions, many organisations provide one or two hours of security awareness training annually. But this limited approach lacks staying power. It doesn’t promote lasting changes in behaviour. And it doesn’t instill the kind of security mindset that can transform your biggest attack surface into a critical layer of defence.
