A new report on security awareness and training suggests that organisations are progressing on the path of stronger cyber resilience, but still significant gaps remain in employee readiness, training, completion, and consistency of security practices.<\/p>\n

Fortinet\u2019s 2025 Security Awareness and Training Global Research Report suggests that security awareness training is rapidly evolving from a routine compliance exercise into a measurable control for reducing cyber risk. Listed below are some of the key takeaways from the report:<\/p>\n

AI is raising awareness, but employee readiness remains uneven<\/strong><\/p>\n

AI-driven threats have changed how employees and leaders think about cybersecurity. Nearly nine in 10 organizations say attackers\u2019 use of AI has increased employee awareness of why security training matters. But awareness is not the same as readiness. Only about 40% of leaders say their employees are truly prepared to identify, avoid, and report AI-based cyberthreats.<\/p>\n

Most organizations are responding by training employees on the proper use of generative AI (GenAI) tools, monitoring or restricting sensitive data sharing, and implementing formal AI security policies. Nearly all respondents say they already have, or are actively implementing, security policies for AI and large language model (LLM) tools. The direction is clear. The gap is execution and consistency.<\/p>\n

External threats drive adoption, but insider risk is rising fast<\/strong><\/p>\n

External threats, past breaches, and industry incidents remain the top reasons organizations invest in security awareness training. More than 40% of respondents cite these factors as the primary driver. What has changed is the rise in concern about internal risk. More than a quarter of organizations now point to insider risk as a reason for adopting training, a sharp increase from last year.<\/p>\n

Training priorities reflect this shift. While data security and data privacy remain the top topics, AI-based tools and threats aren\u2019t close behind. This alignment…<\/p>\n
