Chief security officers are the obvious point people to address a workforce’s cybersecurity concerns. While it is the obligation of a CSO or CISO to spearhead a company’s defense against cyber attacks, the responsibility cannot fall solely on the shoulders of a single person. With 43 percent of data breaches caused internally and the average data breach costing $4 million, fostering a companywide commitment to cybersecurity awareness becomes a shared responsibility.
Given the technical nature of cybersecurity, the average employee may not have a full grasp of best cybersecurity practices. In fact, up to 90 percent of internet users haven’t had any recent cybersecurity training. To ensure that each employee helps fortify an organization against an attack, providing digestible, effective training is critical – and eLearning is making it easier than ever for companies to educate their employees.
