Test your team's security readiness with the Gone Phishing Tournament
Eighty-two percent of breaches include employee mistakes, such as falling victim to a phishing scam.
Phishing is the cheapest and most reliable way for an attacker to get a foot in the door of an organization. Explore Microsoft's and Terranova Security's Gone Phishing Tournament to test your company's behaviors using real-world simulations.
Why is employee behavior important in cybersecurity?
Employee behavior is crucial because 82% of breaches involve user actions, with phishing being a common tactic used by attackers. Even with technical solutions in place, human fallibility remains a significant risk factor. By understanding and improving employee behavior, organizations can significantly reduce their risk of breaches, which can cost an average of USD 4 million per incident.
How does the Gone Phishing Tournament work?
The Gone Phishing Tournament is an online initiative that simulates real-world phishing scenarios to assess and benchmark user behavior regarding phishing susceptibility. It provides organizations with valuable data to drive behavior change and foster a security-aware culture, ultimately helping to mitigate risks associated with phishing attacks.
What are effective strategies for improving security awareness?
Organizations should focus on hands-on simulations to create memorable learning experiences, as well as differentiate training based on individual user needs. Regular engagement through varied training experiences, rather than just biannual videos, can help maintain awareness and alignment with security practices. Additionally, fostering a culture of learning and sharing best practices among peers can further enhance security awareness.
