Recent studies have pointed fingers at employees, often referring to them as the “weakest link” in cybersecurity. We don’t agree with that wording, and here’s why: It implicates employees as being careless, when more often than not they haven’t received the proper training. Much as a business shouldn’t expect a first-day worker to know the ins and outs of its proprietary systems, it’s unreasonable to presume they’re knowledgeable in corporate security best practices. So, whether you’re an IT manager interested in helping employees improve security hygiene or a professional who’s taken it upon yourself to be more cyber-conscious.
