Insider Threats
Insider threats, whether intentional or unintentional, can pose a significant risk to organizations. CISOs and executives should implement robust monitoring tools and access controls to detect and prevent insider threats.
The Importance of Cybersecurity Awareness
In light of these evolving threats, cybersecurity awareness among employees is crucial. CISOs and executives should prioritize cybersecurity training programs, such as those offered by Protect360, to educate employees on best practices and empower them to recognize and respond to cyber threats effectively.
