To effectively teach cybersecurity awareness to employees, experts recommend using unique, memorable training methods. For example, Kim Burton, head of Trust and Compliance with Tessian, employs an “escape room” technique, where employees look for security flaws within a physical space. Simultaneously, Lisa Plaggemier, executive director at National Cyber Security Alliance, advocates for short, frequent training sessions rather than annual ones. Changes in training strategies are required, given reports show 74% of data breaches involve human error.
