Security awareness training is not enough to stop breaches

Quick Summary:

New research shows companies are pouring an increasing number of resources into their security awareness and training programs, with 96 percent of respondents allocating it between five percent to 20 percent of their security budgets.

But the research from CultureAI, based on a survey by Opinion Matters of 200 UK-based cyber security teams at organizations with over 1000 employees, finds that while 78 percent train employees at least monthly human-related breaches are still happening at an alarming rate.

Training can go some way to address gaps in knowledge, but cyber criminals exploit gaps in attention and perception to achieve their goals.
