CYBER SECURITY Awareness Training: AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE for Small and Midsized Businesses

By Digiguard Inc.

When employees are trained to know what cybercriminals are looking for, they are better equipped to avoid handing over logins and passwords in a phishing attack or being tricked into sending large financial transactions to hackers. Because 90% of cyberattacks start with human error, employees represent the most significant risk to business network security and the best defense against evolving cyber threats. When companies train employees to be "human firewalls," their liability risk for data protection improves dramatically. Cyber insurance companies, contracts, and compliance requirements increasingly require proof of security awareness training.
