Employers should develop cybersecurity protocols and invest more in employee training programs
Summary
The ObserveIT global survey of 600 IT leaders across various industries found that employers should develop clear cybersecurity protocols and invest more in employee training programs and monitoring tools to verify safe user activity. According to the survey, on average, 46 percent of respondents agree that their organization doesn’t have confidence in its workforce when it comes to keeping valuable data and assets safe. With an evolving risk environment and employee trust being highly important, 92 percent of respondents agree that investment in new technologies to monitor insider threats and verify user activity will be crucial for keeping information secure over the next 18 months. “The workforce is changing rapidly as remote work becomes commonplace and more companies rely on freelancers and contractors to support daily activities,” said Mike McKee, CEO of ObserveIT. “Trusting employees to keep valuable information safe should start at the top with effective training, clear guidelines and verification via technology for all users.”
