Tampa Bay, FL, February 25, 2025 (Globe Newswire) -knowbe4, world-renowned cyber platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, today announced the launch of the research report “Sharing Cyber ​​security information as a sustainable security culture element. ”, Author by Dr. Marin J.

Many employees are already engaging with Cyber ​​information in their personal life, and when they share it proactive, they reflect a mature security mentality. A well -established security culture encourages good habits, mutual support and a clear risks aware. Examining how cyber security news spreads, organizations can obtain valuable information to strengthen defense and minimize human risk.

The report found that, on average, 57% of the people surveyed received cybersecurity training, 73% in the UK, 60% in the US, 55% in Germany and only 38% in France. Preparation at work influenced the exchange of information, because 24% of those trained continued to share information with colleagues and had more chances to remember the content of Phishing.

Other key discoveries:

• 77% had information on cyber security shared with them and 25% actively shared cyber security information with others.

• In general, employers were an important source of information on cyber security on all age groups, while social media was an important channel for the 18-29-year-old group.

“Employees care about cybersecurity and organizations should also be,” Kraemer said. “Successful security programs recognize that employees are more likely to share important information to their colleagues, strengthening the security culture at work. By providing high quality content, relevant and making it easy to share, organizations can empower their workforce to make known decisions, reduce the risks and create a security mentality that extends beyond the office. “

Understanding how employees consume and sharing cyber security news is essential for building a stronger security culture.
