Has cybersecurity training suffered a lot during this process?

Cybersecurity and associated training programs should be ingrained within corporate policies and allocated the budget required to succeed - without investment from leadership, good intentions for enhancing cybersecurity training may never be translated into action.

It can also be difficult to tailor cybersecurity training to specific job roles, and in my experience, most companies resort to supplying everyone with the same general training.

Training programs should account for this variance in job roles and plan their training content accordingly.

As organizations continue to lose billions of dollars each year to threat vectors such as phishing scams, ransomware and data breaches, it's clear a robust cybersecurity training program is a must for any company onboarding program.

Depending on whether or not a company falls under any regulatory or compliance standards, it is likely cybersecurity training during onboarding is already a requirement.
