Cybersecurity Awareness Programme: improving protection through an acculturation strategy

In the age of the digital revolution, cyber security is the number one risk for businesses in 2023. In 90% of cases, security breaches are primarily caused by human error; this is known as ‘brain hacking’.

An effective cybersecurity awareness training programme must be practical and tailored to business risks. The learning pyramid shows that reading a theoretical course enables learners to retain up to 5% of information, whereas practical training enables them to retain nearly 75%.

Moving from raising awareness of cyber security to fostering a cyber culture means creating a robust cyber culture capable of preventing incidents and responding proactively to emerging threats.
