Security awareness is a mindset where company personnel are constantly conscious of securing all computing assets from any kind of digital threat. It’s the company’s first line of defense against relentless cyber attackers. Employees who are vigilant against threats and know what to do in the event of an attack increase the organization’s chances of repelling attempts to control their computers and networks.
You can think of security awareness as the old practice of tying a string around your finger to remind you constantly of something. In this case, it reminds you to always keep your guard up against cyber attacks.
