Employees are the weakest link in your cybersecurity chain. According to Verizon's 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report, around 25% of all data breaches involve email phishing and 85% of data breaches involve a human element. With the rise of email phishing scams, spear phishing, malware, ransomware and social engineering attacks, the best approach to cybersecurity is a multi-layered solution that combines security awareness training with ongoing simulated phishing.
Integrated Cybersecurity Training
Many small businesses are adopting integrated platforms like KnowBe4 for enhanced security awareness training. With platforms like these, employees are tested on their ability to identify a phishing scam on a regular interval; this is known as simulated phishing attacks. Management has access to reports to monitor progress and learn what employees may need more training based upon who actions or clicks on specific links.
New research by CybSafe found only 10% of workers remember all their cybersecurity training.
