​What is Cybersecurity Training and Awareness?
Do your employees know how their individual actions impact cybersecurity? Are they aware of the latest cyber threats, and do they know how to identify and prevent them? If you are not sure of the answer to these questions, you need to roll out cybersecurity awareness training.
That’s the percentage of businesses that believe internal actors are the biggest threat to their cybersecurity
But you can prevent 100% of the cyberattacks that occur due to ignorant errors by employees.
