"Managing Human Cyber Risks Matters Now More Than Ever"

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) increases the sophistication and scope of phishing, vishing, and smishing attacks, understanding and managing human cyber risks have become increasingly important, according to a report by the SANS Institute. The report highlights the escalating stakes associated with human cyber risks. The study discovered that mature security programs with strong teams and leadership support have at least three full-time employees on their security awareness teams. As in previous years, most organizations continue to view security awareness as a part-time commitment. Seventy percent of security awareness practitioners reported devoting less than half of their time to it this year. This insight highlights the ongoing difficulty of elevating the importance of continuous cybersecurity awareness in organizations' day-to-day operations. This article continues to discuss key findings from the SANS 2023 Security Awareness Report.
