There's no question that organizations experienced both new and familiar cybersecurity challenges in 2021—and that a people-centric security approach has become only more critical.
According to Alan LeFort, SVP and General Manager of Security Awareness Training at Proofpoint:
"Where 2020 taught us about the need to be agile and responsive in the face of change, 2021 taught us about the need to better protect ourselves. As email remains the favored attack method for cybercriminals, there is clear value in building a culture of security. In this evolving threat landscape and as work-from-anywhere becomes commonplace, it is critical that organizations empower their people and support their efforts to learn and apply new cyber skills, both at work and at home."
