What is the primary cybersecurity risk identified by CISOs?
Three in four (74%) CISOs identify human error as their top cybersecurity risk. This marks an increase from 60% in the previous year, highlighting the growing concern about the impact of human actions on cybersecurity.
How can organizations effectively manage human error in cybersecurity?
Organizations should adopt a holistic approach that fosters a culture of cybersecurity. This includes providing comprehensive and ongoing training for employees, ensuring that cybersecurity is viewed as a shared responsibility, and utilizing AI tools to predict and mitigate human-related risks.
What role does employee training play in cybersecurity?
Ongoing employee training is crucial for changing behavior and keeping cybersecurity top of mind. Instead of one-time sessions, organizations should implement regular training modules and incorporate cybersecurity education into new employee onboarding to ensure all staff are equipped with the necessary knowledge from the start.
