It\u2019s widely-agreed that cybersecurity training creates a more resilient business. Yet many firms are failing to embrace the area, with only 19% of companies including training and awareness activities, according to the UK government\u2019s 2025 Cybersecurity Breaches Survey.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity training is mandated through regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, the Network Information and Systems 2 Directive and the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, training should be more specialized, she says. \u201cFinance and HR teams should focus on social engineering and data protection, while developers and DevOps teams need a deeper understanding of secure coding, vulnerability management, supply chain integrity and cloud configuration risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Effective training requires nuance, agrees Darren Anstee, chief technology officer for security at NETSCOUT. \u201cFor instance, the leadership team needs to understand the strategic and financial implications of a breach, while the finance department requires training in areas such as business email compromise and invoice fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n
