Enhancing cybersecurity skills for the entire workforce must be a priority for cyber-resilience
Risk resulting from a cybersecurity event affects the entire organization. “As such, the cyber workforce—those responsible for preventing and responding to an attack—are no longer limited to just ‘the geeks in the basement,'” said James Hadley, CEO and founder of Immersive Labs, in an email exchange. “Until we prioritize cyber skills and education for the workforce at large, the threat landscape will continue to outpace us.”
To be more precise, cyberattacks can have a financial, reputational, regulatory, legal and technical impact. “This goes far beyond making sure employees don’t click on a phishing email,” Hadley added. “When cyber risk is all-pervasive, the skills that go towards protection and response must be equally as extensive.”
