INE Security has unveiled a four-step approach to help organizations measure the return on investment (ROI) from their cybersecurity training programs. This new strategy aims to enhance the effectiveness of security training and provide strong justification for investing in cybersecurity education. Companies that regularly invest in such education report significant benefits, including a reduction in breach costs by an average of $1.49 million. Unlike technology purchases, cybersecurity training can be implemented immediately and offers measurable security improvements over time. Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing training investments to maximize security budgets and achieve both immediate and long-term value. Their updated certification programs, such as threat hunting and mobile security tracks, offer organizations a way to allocate budgets effectively while developing critical skills. With a large percentage of breaches involving human error, hands-on training and certification can significantly reduce risks and enhance security postures. To address skills gaps, INE Security outlines specific steps for organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of their training and ensure measurable returns.
