Did you know that nearly half of small businesses have been hacked in the past year!
Why is that? Often smaller businesses have limited resources to be able to invest in robust cybersecurity and their employees often have less cybersecurity training making them more vulnerable. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are well aware of this and therefore actively target small businesses. The Australian government announced yesterday that they will appoint a new coordinator for cybersecurity who will be tasked with coordinating cybersecurity efforts across government and the country as well as managing the fallout from cyber-attacks.
What can you do to protect your organisation?
Cybersecurity training is an essential element of any organisation’s security strategy. In today’s digital world, it’s crucial that organisations of all sizes ensure their staff are well-versed in cybersecurity best practices.
Cybersecurity training educates employees on the importance of cyber hygiene, the latest threats, and how to respond to incidents. Most organisations are increasingly relying on technology to conduct their business operations, making cybersecurity training an invaluable asset. Without it, you risk leaving your business open to attack, which can have devastating consequences.
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, and the only way to stay ahead of the curve is to ensure your staff are well-versed in the latest best practices.
Cybersecurity training is not just about teaching your staff how to use technology safely; it’s also about teaching them how to think critically about security. By providing employees with the necessary tools and knowledge, they’ll be able to identify potential risks, spot possible malicious activity, and respond appropriately to cyber incidents.
Cybersecurity training can help organizations build a culture of security.
Your team won’t actually get a pretty red cape, but they will have superhero cybersecurity senses and be ready to take action when attacks occur.
