Research shows that most successful cyberattacks involve mistakes made by humans with some industry sources putting the number as high as 85%. In support of this, experts consistently state that the most effective defense against cyberattacks is through education. Yet, successful attacks continue to happen with alarming regularity despite the deployment of modern, automated cyber defense training.
Perhaps it’s time for a different approach to educating humans to better prepare for the attacks of cybercriminals.
Using real-world examples and normal everyday language, this non-technical training course is for computer users of all types. This is not the typical automated, self-paced video
training commonly deployed by many IT professionals.
