Despite being the first line of defense against cyber-attacks, many employees claim they have never received any form of cybersecurity training from their employers.
A report from KnowBe4 based on a poll of 2,000 workers says almost a fifth (18%) have never received any form of cybersecurity training from their companies.
Furthermore, 51% have not received any training on how to avoid phishing scams - arguably the most widespread cybercriminal activity in the world. Finally, almost half (48%) have never been taught how to create strong passwords.
