Overview

No cybersecurity programme is ever complete if it does not contain an awareness training campaign to cover the human dimension. In our experience, we routinely witness many smart and intelligent people at the organisations we have worked with fall victim to cybercriminals. The financial losses for organisations and the human impact on the individuals can be far reaching.

Perhaps the futurist Kevin Kelly sums up the challenge best in his book ‘The Inevitable’:

All of us – every one of us – will be endless newbies in the future simply trying to keep up. Here’s why: First, most of the important technologies that will dominate life 30 years from now have not yet been invented, so naturally you’ll be a newbie to them. Second, because the new technology requires endless upgrades, you will remain in a newbie state. Third, because the cycle of obsolescence is accelerating (the average life span of a phone app is a mere 30 days!), you won’t have time to master anything before it’s displaced, you will remain a newbie forever. Endless Newbie is the new default for everyone, no matter your age or experience. (Kelly, 2017)
