Even worse \u2013 only 39% say they\u2019re \u2018very likely\u2019 to report a security incident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

A startling new report indicates the disconnect between employees and their company\u2019s cybersecurity efforts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nearly one in three (30%) employees don\u2019t think they personally play a role in maintaining their company\u2019s cybersecurity posture, according to new research from Tessian.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, only 39% of employees say they\u2019re \u201cvery likely\u201d to report a security incident. When asked why:<\/p>\n

– 42% of employees said they wouldn\u2019t know if they had caused an incident in the first place, and<\/p>\n

– 25% said they just don\u2019t care enough about cybersecurity to mention it.<\/p>\n

Obviously, that makes investigation and remediation even more challenging and time-consuming for security teams.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, all IT and security leaders (99%) agreed that a strong security culture is important in maintaining a company\u2019s cybersecurity posture. Yet, despite rating their organization\u2019s security 8 out 10, on average, three-quarters of organizations experienced a security incident in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Kim Burton, head of trust and compliance at Tessian \u201cEveryone in an organization needs to understand how their work helps keep their coworkers and company secure. To get people better engaged with the security needs of the business, education should be specific and actionable to an individual\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The report suggests this could stem from a reliance on traditional training programs; 48% of security leaders say training is one the most important influences on building a positive cybersecurity posture.<\/p>\n

But the reality is that employees aren\u2019t engaged:<\/p>\n

– just 28% of UK and US workers say security awareness training is engaging and<\/p>\n

– only 36% say they\u2019re paying full attention.<\/p>\n

Of those who are, only half say it\u2019s helpful, while another 50% have had a negative experience with a phishing simulation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the security teams\u2019 responsibility to create a culture of empathy and care, and they should back up their education with tools and procedures that make secure practices easy to integrate into people\u2019s everyday workflows,\u201d Burton said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The generational issue<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report also revealed generational differences when it comes to cybersecurity culture perceptions. The youngest generation (18- 24-year-olds) is almost three times as likely to say they\u2019ve had a negative experience with phishing simulations when compared to the oldest generation (55+).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In contrast, older employees are four times more likely to have a clear understanding of their company\u2019s cybersecurity policies compared to their younger colleagues, and are five times more likely to follow those policies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to risky cybersecurity practices such as reusing passwords, taking company data and opening attachments from unknown sources, younger employees are the least likely to see anything wrong with these practices.<\/p>\n
