Attackers are going after your users because it's easier to go after people than find and exploit a technical vulnerability. With 99% of attacks requiring human activation to be successful, it's more important than ever to understand user behavior. If you've been following along in our #TacklingUserBehavior series, this news isn't a surprise.
In this final episode of this security awareness training series, we asked our guests, "Where do you even start with a company-wide training program?" They dove into where to begin and gave three don'ts to keep in mind:
- Don't skip the basics
- Don't try to accomplish everything
- Don't be boring
In each episode, we've talked with experts on the problems and solutions in changing user behavior and reducing your organization's risk. Listen to all our conversations in the links below.
