    Cybersecurity awareness is an ongoing process of educating and training
    employees about the threats that exist in cyberspace. It aims to help
    individuals understand how to prevent security breaches and what actions
    to take in case of a security incident
    Why Build Awareness?

    1. Mitigating Human Error


    2. Creating a Security Culture
    3. Strengthening Security Posture
    4. Meeting Compliance Requirements
    Components

    associated with visiting websites and clicking
    on links.

    Email Safety: Understanding the dangers of


    phishing emails and malicious attachments.

    Common Threats

    Phishing Password Attacks Ransomware


    Phishing

    Phishing is a form of social engineering


    and scam where attackers deceive
    people into revealing sensitive
    information or installing malware such
    as ransomware
    Password Attack
    A password attack refers to any of the various
    methods used to maliciously authenticate into
    password-protected accounts. These attacks are
    typically facilitated through the use of software that
    expedites cracking or guessing passwords
    Ransomware
    Ransomware is a type of malware that
    locks a victim’s data or device and
    threatens to keep it locked—or worse—
    unless the victim pays a ransom to the
    attacker
    In 2021, 85% of data breaches involved human
    error, often through email attacks.

    The average cost of a ransomware-caused data


    breach was USD 4.54 million in 2022
    Mitigation techniques
    1. Avoid visiting malicious websites. Ex. Torrent etc

    2. Avoid clicking on email links and attachments from unknown


    senders

    3. Do not open emails that seem too good to be true
