Employee education and training helps organizations prevent cybercrime by teaching staff about maintaining security, proper cyber etiquette, and how to recognize attacks. Businesses also need continuous monitoring of their systems to detect any suspicious activity or security breaches in a timely manner. Implementing privileged access management ensures the right level of access is strategically assigned to employees based on their roles and responsibilities.
