Comments:

“Not only training, but regularly updating the skills, and showing what happens in real life, and close to home, when cyber security fails. Similar to how driving instructors show those videos no one really wants to see.”

“As much training, you want to make sure that your firm is financially capable of accepting these cyber attacks and what the attack will cost.”

“Train, re-train and educate your employees.”
