Businesses are still not putting basic cyber security practices in place, despite numerous data breach headlines day after day. The rise of remote working through the current global pandemic, has heightened the surge of cyber security related risks, making employees even more vulnerable to cyber threats. With over 90% of data breaches occurring through human error, lack of staff security awareness training can be a costly error and it is imperative businesses take security awareness training seriously.  Even with this knowledge, there is still a massive lack in security awareness training within businesses. 75% of w************* employees have not received help from employers on security awareness, guidance or training for example. Sadly statistics such as these are not in isolation.
