Security News > 2020 > September > How vital is cybersecurity awareness for a company’s overall IT security?
Nowadays, companies not only invest in IT security solutions, but also in the training of their employees with the goal of making them more conscious of security issues.
Security awareness covers various training measures which sensitize a company's employees to IT security issues.
96 percent also agree that cybersecurity awareness has led to a higher level of security in their company.
Finally, 92 percent of the survey participants denied that the same level of IT security could be maintained in the company if the existing funds and resources were invested exclusively in technical security measures, such as firewalls and virus scanners.
"But the benefits of cybersecurity awareness go far beyond fewer security incidents and better trained employees. The trainings and increased attention to IT security also have a positive effect on the corporate culture."
