These overlooked training strategies can help stop your staff from causing breaches

One-third of businesses have experienced a breach caused by insiders, with potential losses of over $5 million per incident, according to cybersecurity firm Forcepoint. User education is seen as a key factor in strengthening the human element and preventing breaches, with experts arguing for different approaches to training and education. These include tracking employee work habits and focussing on specific types of insider threats, such as accidental, compromised or malicious employees. Organisational culture and employee satisfaction are also seen as important, with higher risk of insider incidents associated with unhappy or disgruntled workers.
