From the report, “Let’s face it: senior leaders at organizations across the globe are already pressed for their time and attention. Today’s changing threat landscape requires executives and managers to fundamentally rethink their approach when it comes to addressing and mitigating cyber-risk. With the growth in cloud, mobile, and IoT, combined with employee and supply chain access to critical data and intellectual property, security and privacy awareness is now front and center for executives in the fight against cyberthreats. Yet finding the time for executives to effectively educate themselves in order to prevent cyberthreats continues to be a challenge. Take a look [in the report and discover] how executives and managers across various industries compared to the general population in terms of their knowledge of cybersecurity and data privacy best practices.”

To better understand what government employees know (and don’t know) about data privacy and cybersecurity awareness, we surveyed 1,016 U.S.- based employees who work for local, state, and federal government entities. We then compared the results against a broader sample of employed U.S. adults that took the same survey, the results of which we featured in our 2017 State of Privacy and Security Awareness report.

From the report, “Our State of Privacy and Security Awareness Report is back for a third year in a row, having originally been launched in 2016 due to the need to gain a better understanding of the cybersecurity knowledge of today’s workforce. Fast forward to 2018, and the need for such a resource has never been more important. Human-caused data breaches are still making headlines, and phishy emails are still letting the bad guys in. Increasingly popular cloud-storage tools are making it easier than ever to put sensitive data at risk, IOT devices are providing new inroads for the bad guys, and new breeds of malware continue to evolve on a daily basis. One thing connects these threats: the role that employees play in keeping their organizations secure. So, without further ado, we’re pleased to announce the results of the 2018 State of Privacy and Security Awareness Report.”
