(%) 45% 40 people – users: improving employee cyber resilience but poor social network security 86% of the organisations sought to prevent cyberattacks by training their users. Although half the respondents do not specifically allocate funds to training, training took place once a year or more often in more than 50% of the companies (Chart 10). Three-quarters of such training took the form of e-learning or internal training using the company’s own staff.

Nearly a quarter of them tested their users through simulated phishing campaigns or penetration testing (Chart 11 ).
