Knowledge deficits with far-reaching consequences
A new survey published by cybersecurity provider Hornetsecurity reveals significant gaps in IT security training, with 26% of organizations still not providing training to their end users. In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, where threat actors are constantly finding new ways to infiltrate and harm organizations, this can become a problem.
Employees should be at the heart of every company's cyber security strategy. Unfortunately, the study showed that not only are there gaps in employee training, but also that any initiatives are seen as ineffective. 39 percent of respondents stated that training does not adequately address current or AI-powered cyber threats. In a world where AI is accelerating and increasing the scale and effectiveness of attacks, this can become alarming.
