As the multi-billion-dollar industry of cybercrime continues to thrive, employees remain the number one cause of cyber attacks. Despite cybercriminals relentlessly targeting and attacking organizations of all sizes, employees remain untrained on security awareness, leaving them to fight a battle they’re unprepared for.
A 2017 study from Keeper Security and the Ponemon Institute revealed that the number one cause of data breaches at small and medium-sized businesses across North America and the UK is negligent employees. Whether it be employees exercising poor password practices or making careless mistakes that lead to detrimental consequences, there is no denying that security awareness training is vital to improving poor employee cyber hygiene.
Art Gross, President, and CEO of Secure Now! recently sat down with Brian Sherman of IoT Security Services Association (IoTSSA) to discuss security awareness training, the need for continuous training, and the benefits it provides in helping employees become the first line of defense against cybercriminals. Art also talks about the benefits MSPs can expect by using the Breach Secure Now! platform to engage with clients and prospects. Using Dark Web scans, simulated phishing, employee training, monitoring of employee vulnerabilities with an Employee Secure Score, and much more, BSN is proud to help educate users on how they can help fight cybercrime all while providing MSPs with an incredible opportunity and platform to grow their business.
