The Importance of Cybersecurity Training

Imagine an organization at which the custodian is responsible for locking up every night. That may sound like an effective security safeguard — but it only works if the last person to actually leave the building remembers to lock the door and set the alarm.

Cybersecurity is similar. While your organization needs to have filters, processes, and controls in place, it’s important to not overlook the “doors” that can be left unlocked by employees and other network users. One click on one bad link can take down a whole network and compromise your data.

That means every organization should be providing ongoing cybersecurity training. As you plan for the new year, now is the perfect time to consider this important, ongoing cybersecurity defense.
