For years, organisations have invested heavily in cybersecurity awareness training.
Our employees sit through annual training sessions. They complete the mandatory quizzes. They watch simulation videos. Completion rates are all tracked, reports are generated to explain the results, and leaders feel confident they addressed the human side of cybersecurity. But somehow, cyber incidents continue to occur at an alarming rate. And, humans remain the first point of entry.Reality makes us uncomfortable but it’s very difficult to ignore: if awareness training alone worked, we would be far safer than we are today, wouldn’t we?
Organisations have spent years increasing their investment in awareness programmes, yet human error remains one of the most common contributors to cyber incidents. Traditional methods often overemphasise technology, assume more information automatically changes behaviour, and the methods rely on generic content that has little connection to the reality of how people work.
