Highlighting the potential danger from human risk, the research cited a survey of 1,310 workers which revealed a whopping 69 percent admitted to having bypassed their own organisations' cybersecurity guidance in the past 12 months.
In order to equip cyber security professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to combat these relentless and fast-evolving internal cyber threats, the SANS Institute, a trusted resource for cybersecurity training, certifications and research, is celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October.
This kit has been carefully designed to seamlessly integrate into established workflows, as a supplement to any existing training programmes, or a perfect companion to ongoing Cybersecurity Awareness Month initiatives.
It contains a veritable treasure trove of goodies for cybersecurity pros tasked with the often-thankless job of educating their organizations' staff on cybersecurity priorities, and the vital need to follow established best practices.
It includes Fact Sheets that provide bite-sized information that helps to clearly explain the importance of the key topics covered in Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
SANS warns that humans represent the largest attack vector for cyber criminals, which is why the free Cybersecurity Awareness Month Toolkit has been developed to help arm every human in their organization with the knowledge to defend against these attacks.
