cybersecurity awareness refers to how much end-users know about the cybersecurity threats their networks face and the risks they introduce.
End users are considered the weakest link and the primary vulnerability within a network. Being that end users are a major vulnerability, technical means to improve security are not enough: organizations must also provide training for a personal awareness of cybersecurity. They should educate employees on current threats and how to avoid them.
Phishing is actually a sub-category of social engineering that is very specific to email.
To facilitate phishing assessments, we utilize a combination of insider knowledge and the latest trends in phishing to achieve a realistic scenario designed to entice employees into investigating the email and handing over restricted or sensitive information.
Employees play a critical role in every organization’s security posture. Having the right tools in place is important, but having trained personnel who can recognize security threats and act on them is just as critical. With this fact in mind, organizations must consider both the content and the training methods they’re using to ready their employees. A comprehensive security awareness program can truly make employees more security-aware. Proper training methods should not only engage your IT personnel but also provide all employees with continuous learning to reinforce strong security practices.
