CYBERSECURITY REVIEW6 MARCH - 2022EditorialWith human error playing a key part in 95 percent of cybersecurity breaches, managing employee cyber risk is essential for business to steer clear of a user-related data breach and to demonstrate regulatory compliance. One core component of a strong human risk management (HRM) program is ongoing security awareness training that educates end-users on how to identify and combat modern threats, as well as best practices for staying security-savvy.But deciding to launch this type of training comes with some common questions, not least of which is deciding on the security awareness training topics you should be including. Employees need regular training on how the spot phishing attacks that use modern techniques, as well as how to report a phishing attack as soon as they believe they have been targeted.Another security awareness topic that is used daily by companies is removable media. Removable media is the portable storage medium that allows users to copy data to the device and then remove it from the device to another and vice versa. USB devices containing malware can be left for end-users to find when they plug this into their device.A very simple but often overlooked element that can help your company's security is password security. Often commonly used passwords will be guessed by malicious actors in the hope of gaining access to your accounts. Using simple passwords, or having recognizable password patterns for employees can make it simple for cyber-criminals to access a large range of accounts. Once this information is stolen it can be made public or sold for profit on the deep web.The realities of cyber security awareness and how crucial it is to the protection of sensitive information can feel daunting at times, especially in the face of continually accelerated digital transformation. However, there is a silver lining in all this--a robust security awareness training program, one that's focused on changing end user behaviors for the better--can make a difference for an organization.Let us know your thoughts.Staying Security-SavvyNicholas Halden Managing Editoreditor@thecybersecurityreview.com Copyright © 2022 ValleyMedia, Inc.
