In other words, the investment in most security awareness programs is window dressing - something that looks good but is a false front.

Human actions account for 90% of all security incidents, so CISOs can quantifiably reduce their overall security incidents by upgrading the "Human firewall."

Ensuring behavior changes with personalized security awareness programs.

Instead of merely checking the annual compliance security box, good security awareness programs are focused entirely on real-world outcomes and results.

Good security awareness training programs should engage employees across multiple apps and activities, including the use of peer-to-peer software, personal cloud storage, public Wi-Fi, risky apps, or visiting compromised websites.

While there is no silver bullet to solve our time's cybersecurity issues, targeted personalized security awareness programs can significantly reduce the cyber risk of enterprises.
