Cyber Security Awareness Improvements

According to a study by Wombat Security Technologies, technology users today are more likely to recognize a phishing attack than they were a year ago. Across all of the industries the participants were from, they overall performed better this year on questions around identifying phishing attacks, answering incorrectly only a quarter of the time on average, compared to a little over a quarter in 2016. This report offers an opportunity for organizations to assess their end users’ cybersecurity knowledge and evaluate how proactive they are being on the security awareness training front.
