How are companies training their employees?

In today's increasingly complex threat landscape, adversaries are well funded and are using advanced
resources to develop and evolve new threat variants. It's more important than ever for organizations to
have a comprehensive, ongoing training program in place.

To address these challenges, organizations are prioritizing allocating resources to endpoint security, data
security, and secure access service edge (SASE) training. This also is followed by remote, cloud, and
network security training.

Organizations are also prioritizing skills in a variety of topics to help defend against modern threats on
the broad range of attack vectors. That's why it's so important to have a comprehensive training program
in place.

Online training is becoming the preferred approach over in-person training, with 72% of SMBs, 62% of
large SMBs/SMEs, and 58% of large enterprises allocating budgets for online training (see figure 5). The
reason for this is simple: online training can be integrated seamlessly into an employee's daily work tasks,
reinforcing its value and making it more likely that the employee will actually learn what they're supposed
to learn.
