Patrick Tiquet, Vice President, Security & Architecture at Keeper Security, remarks, “Ongoing training and education on cybersecurity is essential for all organizations — and this should always encompass leadership. Implementing simulated phishing attacks enables employees at all levels to identify and respond to real threats promptly. Additionally, staying informed about the latest tactics and trends helps is crucial for equipping employees with the knowledge to recognize potential threats. Leaders, positioned as key cybersecurity advocates within the organization, play a vital role in ensuring they and their teams receive timely and relevant information. 

“In addition to strengthening password policies, organizations must prioritize education and awareness initiatives to ensure that employees understand and follow cybersecurity best practices. This includes educating them about common password mistakes, such as using easily guessable passwords or reusing passwords across multiple accounts. Again, regular training and simulated phishing exercises can help reinforce best practices and identify areas of concern.”
