In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and businesses of all sizes are increasingly vulnerable to attacks. While companies may invest in advanced firewalls, encryption tools, and other high-tech security measures, there’s one critical line of defense that often gets overlooked: your employees.
​
Human error remains one of the leading causes of data breaches and cyberattacks. Employees can inadvertently expose a company to risks through phishing emails, weak passwords, or by failing to follow security protocols. This is why building a culture of cybersecurity awareness is vital—and it starts with comprehensive employee training.
