Cybersecurity Training Thwarts Surging Cybercrime

Written by Rachel Edwards

November 17, 2020

Cyber Security Training

The rapid proliferation of cybercrime has organizations battling hordes of unseen enemies. Are you protected?

Cybercrime shot up by 300% in just the first quarter of 2020 and has continued to explode.1, 2 Since the start of the pandemic, 71% of security professionals have reported a surge in security threats or attacks3 and nearly 1 in 4 business leaders acknowledged their company had been a victim of a cyber event.4 Experts project the annual cost of global cybercrime will exceed $6 trillion by 2021.5

The significant uptick in remote workers has fueled the growth. More than half of employees working from home have been provided a company-issued device6. Yet, many expose their organizations to danger by failing to spot threats and neglecting cybersecurity best practices.

Broad economic uncertainty, combined with a growing volume of threats and the risks of unmanaged devices, has organizational leadership and cybersecurity teams tired and looking for help.

Defend with Cybersecurity Training
Cybersecurity training teaches workers to expect and prepare for cyber threats while also providing the tools to spot common attacks and manage them safely. Raising awareness of the inevitable nature of a cyberattack is critical.

The weakest links in an organization’s cybersecurity network are untrained or non-compliant users. These same users are also the organization’s last line of defense – making good training and employee awareness increasingly important.

When employees expect to face cyber threats and know how to recognize them, taking the appropriate action – like deleting an email or not clicking on a link – is easy. Employee awareness prevents the actualization of threats, protecting the company and their clients.

Protecting Your Organization’s Data with Remote Workers
After working from home, many employees do not want to return to the office full-time.6 However, remote workers often gamble with organizational data and IT security with risky behaviors like accessing corporate data on personal devices, using company devices to shop online or opening suspicious emails.

Cybersecurity training helps to mitigate these behaviors, protecting organizations from some attacks and relieving some of the burden on the IT department.

How Can We Help?
Having an interruption to your organization’s work due to a cyberattack is costly and damaging. To thwart cybercrimes, ensure your organization has an updated cybersecurity and compliance plan, including the weakest link – your employees.

Intrada Technologies designed our cybersecurity and compliance programs to protect your business, enabling your organization to remain stable and productive. We customize security protocol recommendations to best fit your needs, network, and budget, creating a solid baseline for all of your network security standards.

Intrada follows government standards on cybersecurity as our compliance foundation. Through cybersecurity training, accountability, and documentation, we take network management best practices to the next level by verifying compliancy and providing an extra layer of security for our clients.
