INE Security Alert: 4 Keys to Faster Breach Recovery

By: via GlobeNewswire

Cary, NC, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyber threats are escalating, and INE Security, a global leader in cybersecurity training and certifications, is emphasizing the pivotal role of ongoing employee education in expediting post-breach recovery and strengthening organizational resources.

Recent cybersecurity statistics underscore the urgent need for comprehensive training strategies. According to IBM's 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million. The vast majority of those incidents involve a human element, such as social engineering. Critically, organizations with robust incident response planning, testing, and training programs saved an average of $1.49 million per breach, indicating a strong case for ongoing cybersecurity training.

"Employee training is no longer a peripheral consideration but a critical defensive strategy," said Data Warn, CEO of INE. "Our research consistently demonstrates that organizations with robust, continuous learning programs can reduce breach recovery time significantly and minimize potential damage through rapid, informed response."

Comprehensive Training Recommendations

INE recommends a holistic training strategy that encompasses:

  1. Simulation-Based Learning: Realistic cyber incident simulations that provide hands-on experience in breach detection and mitigation
  2. Continuous Update Mechanisms: Regular training modules reflecting the latest threat intelligence and emerging cybersecurity trends
  3. Role-Specific Cybersecurity Protocols: Tailored training programs addressing specific departmental vulnerabilities
  4. Skills Assessments: Real-time technical skill assessments unlock key insights to ensure your team is training on the right skills. 

Industry Impact and Economic Considerations

The economic implications of effective cybersecurity training are substantial. The World Economic Forum's 2023 Global Risks Report highlights that cybersecurity failures represent a top-five global risk with potential systemic economic consequences.

"Investment in employee training is not an expense, but a critical risk management strategy," Warn added. "Each trained employee becomes a proactive defense mechanism, transforming potential vulnerabilities into organizational strengths."
