Why Cybersecurity Training Matters

🚨 95% of security breaches happen because of human error.
🚨 Phishing attacks increased by 600% in the last few years.
🚨 Weak passwords account for over 80% of hacking-related breaches.
🚨 Ransomware attacks often start with an employee clicking a malicious link.

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT problem—it’s an everyone problem. Without proper training, even the best security tools won’t stop an employee from unknowingly handing over credentials to an attacker.

 

Common Cybersecurity Threats Employees Face

💀 Phishing Emails & Scams – Deceptive emails that trick users into clicking malicious links or providing sensitive information.
💀 Weak or Reused Passwords – Simple or duplicate passwords that make it easy for attackers to gain access.
💀 Social Engineering – Manipulative tactics that convince employees to share confidential information.
💀 Unsecured Devices – Connecting personal or work devices to public or unprotected networks.
💀 Shadow IT – Employees downloading unauthorized software or cloud applications without IT approval.

 

What Cybersecurity Training Should Cover

A strong cybersecurity training program should include:

✅ Phishing Awareness & Recognition – How to spot and report suspicious emails.
✅ Password Hygiene & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Why complex passwords and MFA are non-negotiable.
✅ Social Engineering Defense – How attackers manipulate people into giving up sensitive data.
✅ Safe Browsing & Email Habits – Understanding malware risks and avoiding dangerous links.
✅ Incident Reporting Procedures – What employees should do if they suspect a security breach.
✅ Remote Work & BYOD Security – Best practices for securing home networks and personal devices used for work.
