This October marks the 20th anniversary of Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CAM). There’s no question that, since the very first CAM, the industry has made significant strides in raising overall awareness around cybersecurity threats.
However, despite the advances made on the awareness front, identifying and following best practices to defend against cyberattacks is still a problem area for many. In fact, a 2022 study from the National Cybersecurity Alliance found that 39% of respondents feel information on how to stay secure online is confusing, and 46% felt frustrated while trying to stay secure online. Couple this with the fact that we are now in an era of unprecedented cyber threat activity, and organizations and individuals alike are arguably more at risk than ever before.
