Why is cybersecurity awareness important?

Organizations run the risk of devastating data breaches (and not to mention fines) as a result of cyberattacks and poor data protection practices. According to the FBI, cybercrime has increased 300% since 2020. Employees who have received cybersecurity awareness training are more likely to adhere to data privacy rules and understand their obligation to protect information and consumer data from cybersecurity risks.
