Organisations failing to prepare employees to confront ever-growing cybersecurity threats
recent survey conducted by
A Censuswide on behalf of KnowBe4 , a provider of security awareness training and simulated phishing platform , finds that the UK workforce is ill-prepared to face today ’ s expanding cybersecurity threat landscape . Of a thousand recently furloughed employees , 41 % admitted that their company had never offered them a security awareness training course , while 14 % have gone as far as to say that their employer has not taken security seriously enough .
While a quarter ( 25 %) of organisations did implement added security measures such as multifactor authentication in the last six months , much still remains to be done ; particularly , when it comes to reinforcing the human firewall . Of those who did receive training , 29 % of respondents conceded that it had been at least six months or more since the last training course . This is concerning as 42 % of respondents chose to sort through their emails quickly upon return to work in an effort to get back to business as usual ; therefore , increasing the likelihood of an individual falling victim to a phishing attack .
Javvad Malik , Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4 , said : “ Bad actors often look to leverage the fear and uncertainty of today ’ s circumstances to trick unsuspecting individuals .
“ As such , it is pivotal that an organisation ’ s security strategy includes ongoing security awareness training .”
