What really stood out was a suggestion from one of the commenters that employees\u2019 cybersecurity awareness should be tested by HR along with their primary skills \u2013 in order to prevent cyber-illiterate people from joining the company.

Draconic as it may seem, this looks like it has some merit. After all, every office employee today has to use a PC, so the lack of basic cybersecurity skills is like the inability to read. The problem is, that it\u2019s not just rank-and-file employees who become the targets of phishing or other attacks.<\/p>\n
