Why cybersecurity training often fails to change real behaviour

Despite extensive cyber training, companies often prioritise compliance over actual behaviour change, leaving them vulnerable to security threats.

Many companies invest in cybersecurity training but focus too much on compliance rather than real behaviour change. This leaves organisations vulnerable to cyber threats, as employees may check boxes without truly improving security practices.

In this episode of Ticker Clicks, cyber security expert Jacqueline Jayne highlights the need for a culture of security, where training is engaging, practical, and directly relevant to daily tasks. Superficial programs fail to address real risks, making a deeper commitment to behavioural change essential.

To strengthen defences, businesses must prioritise interactive, meaningful training that encourages proactive security habits. True protection comes not from meeting requirements but from fostering genuine awareness and action against cyber threats.
