Book Description
Over the past decade, the cyber security landscape has changed dramatically. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, by 2021, the global cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $6 trillion, making it more profitable than the entire global illegal drugs trade. Organisations of every size and in every industry have become potential targets for cybercriminals. New threats are emerging all the time and organisations can no longer just rely on their technological defences to keep them safe. Cybercriminals target the weakest point in an organisation's defences and, all too often, that's your employees. A huge 90 percent of all data breaches can be attributed to human error, which is why organisations must commit to a cyber security awareness program that enables all staff to recognise and embrace the important role they play in safeguarding sensitive company data.
Cyber Security Awareness For Dummies, MetaCompliance Special Edition, consists of six chapters that explore the modern cyber security landscape (Chapter 1), the need for cyber security awareness (Chapter 2), the adoption of cyber security campaigns to promote change (Chapter 3), the integration of policy management into security awareness programs (Chapter 4), the ways to develop a best practice cyber awareness strategy (Chapter 5) and security awareness best practices (Chapter 6).
Each chapter stands on its own, so if you see a topic that piques your interest, feel free to jump ahead to that chapter. You can read this book in any order that suits you (though we don't recommend upside down or backwards).
This book is published as open-access, which means it is freely available to read, download, and share without restrictions.
