Report summary
Is security awareness worth the investment? Does it effectively meet its objectives in enhancing security practices? What role does human risk management play in strengthening organisational security?
To explore these questions, we teamed up with independent researcher Opinion Matters* to survey 200 security leaders. Our goal was to assess how well security awareness and training (SA&T) meet expectations and to examine the value of integrating human risk management into current security frameworks.
As employees go about their daily tasks, they face an increasing range and volume of risks. The increased adoption of SaaS and collaboration tools has broadened the landscape for cyber criminals to exploit vulnerabilities.
This is the new normal. It’s time to adapt.
