??? The Real Deal in Cybersecurity: It's Not Just Tech, It's Training! ???

Hey corporate pros! ?? Let's talk about something that's often misunderstood in the cybersecurity world. You might think that the best defense against cyber threats is the latest and greatest tech. But according to Dante Disparte and Chris Furlow, that's only half the story. ?????

?? Tech Isn't Enough ??

Sure, having state-of-the-art cybersecurity technology is great, but it's not the end-all-be-all. The authors argue that even organizations that spend millions on tech are not necessarily secure. Why? Because they overlook the human element. ??♀???

?? Training Over Tech ??

The real investment you should be making is in better training. And not just for your IT department, but for everyone in the organization. From the C-suite to the newest intern, everyone needs to be cyber-aware. ????

?? Human Shortcomings ??

The major threats to an organization's cybersecurity aren't just technological; they're human shortcomings. Whether it's falling for a phishing scam or not following security protocols, human error is often the weakest link. ?????

?? Regulatory Push ??

Regulators are catching on too. For example, the New York State Department of Financial Services now requires businesses to provide regular cybersecurity awareness training for all personnel. ????

?? Final Thoughts ??

Investing in technology might make you feel safe, but the real investment should be in training your people. It's not just about having the best tech; it's about having a well-trained team that knows how to use it. ?????
