Security Awareness Training Is Top Priority

According to a study published this week by PWC, security related incidents continue to rise, creating staggering losses for large companies. The main cause for the incidents remain to be employees; which by no surprise may lead to why employee security awareness training programs are the top priority among the firms surveyed. Education and prevention is by far much more favorable than spending on recovery efforts. For some reason this makes me think of Smokey the Bear and his motto, "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires". InfoSec needs a spokesbear, too.
