Security Awareness Training (SAT) Is Finally Having Its Day. Here's Why.
FORTRA, Wednesday, May 24,2023
Cybersecurity awareness is on the rise as more organizations adopt security awareness training programs. Why the hype? In several recent reports, we break down our findings around why SAT is on the rise-and why companies need it now more than ever.
Recent study by Fortra's Terranova Security in collaboration with Ipsos revealed employees' knowledge and interest in learning cyber security best practices.
Anecdotally, there was a high level of knowledge about cyber risks. Unfortunately, much of this knowledge was hard-won. Per the results, 76% of employees in the US, France, the UK, Canada, and Australia reported personally being targeted by a cyberattack or knowing someone who has. Of these, 61% of US respondents report successfully being hit.
