Security awareness

Security awareness is term for the degree of awareness that users have about the dangers and risks in regard to online information security. By making employees aware of how security incidents arise and what the risks are, human error can be limited. The sense of responsibility of team members is vital in this. Most cyber security incidents are caused by human actions. The weakest link in IT systems is man. KeyHub makes employees aware and responsible for their own online security.

Most employees in an organisation know little about cyber security and do not feel responsible for this area. They assume the IT Department will keep them safe and that technical solutions such as firewalls and virus scanners will protect the team. This makes employees less alert to the security risks that the organisation faces.
