Cybersecurity - focusing on people
Why cyber security is crucial for employees
Cybersecurity is of critical importance to employees as they play an essential role in protecting sensitive company data. As pillars of the organization, employees must understand that they not only have access to valuable information, but can also be potential targets for cyberattacks.
“9 out of 10 cyberattacks
start with the employees”
A conscious understanding of cybersecurity practices is essential to protect personal data, confidential information and business-critical systems from threats such as phishing, malware and data leaks.
The role of employees in strengthening cyber resilience
By training employees and making them aware of how to recognize suspicious emails, create strong passwords and handle sensitive data securely, they actively contribute to strengthening the company’s cyber resilience. In addition, a proactive security culture helps to minimize the risk of security breaches and prevent potential financial and reputational damage.
Impact on personal safety and well-being
However, the importance of cyber security for employees extends beyond protecting the company. By taking personal security measures and being aware of how to protect their personal devices and online accounts. Ultimately, a strong understanding of cybersecurity not only promotes the security of the company, but also the personal well-being and digital resilience of employees.
