Because in today's world, essentially everyone is a potential target for ransomware - and that means security pros have their work cut out for them.

Social-engineering schemes such as phishing attacks continue to be one of the most common vectors for ransomware and other cybersecurity attacks.

A recent report by Cloudian found that phishing attacks succeeded even though 54 percent of all respondents - and 65 percent of those who reported it as the entry point of a ransomware attack - had conducted anti-phishing training for employees.

Greater awareness is the fundamental principle on which a strong cybersecurity strategy is based.

At the same time, cybersecurity training needs to be conducted across the board - that includes executives, who can't be overlooked, given the access they have and the huge targets on their backs.

If you have even the smallest of digital footprints, you face the risk of ransomware and other types of attacks.
