“Hence, we are encouraging the Malaysian companies to embark on a cybersecurity culture. When we talk about practical advice for companies, we always advise the companies to raise your employee security awareness, but some seen it as a set of dull lectures. Kaspersky has studied a variety of approaches and say that does not work well,” says Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager, Southeast Asia, Kaspersky.

Yeo went on to say that training will only work when it is not purely theory, but teaches things that are relevant to one’s job functions. “The training of cybersecurity culture should not interrupt the team daily workflow, uses real life illustrative examples and applicable advices which are workable.” Yeo added.
