Australia-based cyber security provider KnowBe4, one of the globe’s biggest security awareness platforms, has unveiled its Security Culture Report for 2021.
The Security Culture Report surveyed over 320,000 people across 1,872 entities across the globe.
The research reports that those organisations that have the best performing security culture are in financial services, whereas education and construction typically perform the worst.
The survey participants were scored across seven dimensions, including attitudes, behaviours, cognition, communication, compliance, norms and responsibilities.
Managing director of KnowBe4 Research, the research arm of KnowBe4, Kai Roer, notes how the security report tracks how attitudes change across industries.
“With this annual study, we aim to provide the most comprehensive study of cyber security culture-related data,” Roer said.
“The Security Culture Report takes a unique approach to evaluating security culture using seven different dimensions across a wide variety of industries. Of course, the pandemic has created some shifts in security culture when compared year-over-year. It will be interesting to continue to track how certain vertical industries change over time when it comes to their security culture.”
