As many as 38% of the respondents claimed that they
had sufficient legal expertise in cyber security. Most
often, the companies try to compensate for workforce
shortages by outsourcing and by offering benefits in the
form of further training or participation in interesting
projects to attract new people (Chart 9).

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. Half the organisations also
focused on other ways to improve their staff’s resilience
against cyberattacks. Nearly a quarter of them tested
their users through simulated phishing campaigns or
penetration testing (Chart 11 ).
