Security Nudge. The Value Of Cybersecurity Training. Sponsored By CybSafe.

If it feels like cybersecurity attacks are everywhere, you’re not alone: half of respondents to a recent Yubico global survey said they had been exposed to a cyber attack at work during the past year – and 1 in 5 said that one of their personal bank, email, social media, or other personal accounts had been hacked. And no wonder: 39 per cent of the respondents said they believe a simple username and password are the most secure way to protect their accounts and information. This, of course, is wrong – new innovations like multi factor authentication and secure passkeys offer better security than the humble password – but people are creatures of habit. That’s why the scariest thing Yubico learned was that, as the New York Post reports, fewer than a quarter of respondents said their employers required them to undertake security training after being attacked. Without training, bad habits will never change – and this puts your data, and the data of the company you work for, at risk. If you are the victim of an attack, or know someone at work who was, do everyone a favor and make sure you undertake cyber training so it never happens again.
