  5 REASONS WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS THIS TRAINING

  REDUCING THE CHANCE OF INCIDENTS

  The main benefit of the training is to reduce the risk of data breaches and protect sensitive information. By educating your employees about what to look for and what to do in the event of a potential attack, you will decrease the chances of a successful data breach occurring and increase the protection of your company’s sensitive information.

  MINIMIZING HUMAN ERROR

  Your employees don’t have to harbor malicious intent in order to accidentally expose your company to cybersecurity incidents. In fact, the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report for 2023 found that human elements played a role in almost three-quarters (74%) of all breaches. The most common causes were human error, privilege misuse, stolen credentials, and social engineering attacks. Educating all your employees can significantly decrease the risk of a human element contributing to a data breach.
