How Lack of Cybersecurity Training Makes Small Businesses Easy Targets
Small businesses may think they don’t need to implement cybersecurity training programs because larger enterprises with more revenue are more profitable for bad actors. However, small businesses lacking essential security measures are prime targets due to the ease of access and fewer resources for investigation and remediation.
INE Security Alert: Expediting CMMC 2.0 Compliance
INE Security, a leading global provider of cybersecurity training and certifications, today announced a new initiative designed to accelerate compliance with the Department of Defense's (DoD) newly streamlined Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0. This initiative aims to assist Defense Industry Base (DIB) contractors in swiftly adapting to the updated certification standards, which are critical to securing and maintaining defense contracts.
Why Destination Certification Is a Game-Changer for Professionals
Staying ahead in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape requires more than experience-it demands the proper certifications. As industries increasingly rely on digital infrastructure, the demand for professionals securing these systems has reached unprecedented levels. For individuals aiming to excel in this field, certifications like CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) and CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional) are essential.
"Get Beyond Security Awareness Training" Does Not Mean Forgetting About It
KnowBe4 is a big believer in focusing on decreasing human risk as the best way to decrease cybersecurity risk in most environments. A big part of decreasing human risk is using effective security awareness training (SAT). You do not want to just focus on SAT, but SAT is a big part of decreasing human risk. To be sure, your human risk management projects need to be broadly focused on more than SAT. We agree.
Getting the Scope Right: The Foundation of CMMC Level 2 Certification
Why are we talking about scoping? For defense contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers, the surest path to CMMC Level 2 certification success depends heavily on an accurately defined CUI boundary, or “CMMC assessment scope”. The wait may be over, as the DoD has finalized its expectations of the CMMC program, but the lion’s share of defense contractors are just getting started, many with a heavier lift than others.
Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges in the Manufacturing Sector
The manufacturing sector has seen a significant transformation in recent years, with increasing reliance on digital systems and interconnected devices to streamline operations. While this shift toward Industry 4.0 has brought efficiency and innovation, it has also introduced a new wave of cybersecurity threats. With cybercriminals targeting vulnerabilities in industrial networks, protecting sensitive data and systems has become a top priority for manufacturers.
Security Culture: Moving Beyond Basic Awareness Training
By James Rees, MD, Razorthorn Security The landscape of cybersecurity awareness has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. What began as simple password guidance and basic IT training has evolved into a complex web of security challenges that organisations must navigate daily. Back in December 1999, the world held its breath waiting for the Y2K bug to wreak havoc on computer systems globally.
Why Cybersecurity Training Still Matters
If phishing still works, so must our training! Understand why cybersecurity training remains vital as attackers continue to exploit predictable human behaviours.
