Introduction
In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are evolving at an alarming rate. Many cyberattacks exploit human error rather than technical weaknesses, making employee awareness and training a critical line of defense. Cybersecurity Awareness Training empowers employees to recognize, avoid, and respond to threats like phishing, social engineering, and malware attacks.

- 95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error.
- Employees handle sensitive data daily, making them prime targets.
- Regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) requires staff training on data security.
- Phishing and ransomware attacks have surged, requiring better awareness.
- Companies that train their employees reduce the risk of cyber incidents significantly.
