51 employee awareness of data security , specifically in large organisations , has become paramount in recent years . Businesses may have bolstered their cybersecurity defences to protect their core assets , IP and data , but even the most advanced systems do not account for a lack of employee awareness .
IT Security as a result must become a necessary responsibility for every employee within the company . And this is another way that organisations can effectively use IT contractors . Expert contingent staff can be utilised to train and upskill permanent staff across the business with the cybersecurity tools they need to protect against emerging threats ; without adding more expensive permanent headcount . This will also help to increase employees ’ awareness of security , as well as their own accountability to protect the business , ultimately helping to strengthen defences against cyberattack .
