CybeReady research shows newer , untrained employees pose heightened cyber-risk to organisations

The new findings highlight the significance of the employee learning curve and its impact on cybersecurity risk . The data groups employees into three main clusters according to their risk level ( low , medium and high risk ) and assumes every employee engages in continuous and regular training – at least one short training session per employee per month . ybeReady , a global leader in security awareness

C training , has conducted extensive research based on millions of data points , accumulated from training enterprise employees over the past five years . According to CybeReady , the data reveals that new employees regularly show a propensity for higher-risk behaviours compared to veteran employees . The data establishes a direct correlation between employee experience within a company and its cybersecurity risk level .

According to the data , during the first six months with an organisation , basic training is often provided to new employees in order to establish a risk baseline . As earlystage employees progress to the 6 – 12 month mark , they are exposed to advanced training simulations and reveal a medium level of risk . However , after the 12-month mark , a breakpoint is observed indicating a significant decrease in risk .
The research further reveals a stark contrast in behaviour between new and veteran employees . On average , new employees ( less than six months with the company ) are more than twice as likely to click on phishing emails compared to their veteran counterparts , demonstrating increased susceptibility to cyberthreats .

Research shows AI most effective method for tackling money laundering threats

I is the most effective method for improving antimoney laundering ( AML ) processes and efficiencies ,

A according to AML professionals and research from Feedzai , a leading provider of financial crime and risk management solutions .

Feedzai ’ s The State of Global Anti Money Laundering Compliance Report 2023 surveyed compliance professionals to discover what the biggest threats and opportunities are in the AML ecosystem . It found that 46 % of AML professionals are concerned about increasingly sophisticated money laundering techniques , including Generative AI . The threat from Generative AI and linked technology is now the top challenge for AML professionals , overtaking regulation , Cryptocurrency and Blockchain , the top threats cited in 2022 .
As criminals utilise increasingly sophisticated technology , so too do those seeking to protect consumers . A third ( 33 %) of AML professionals say that AI and Machine Learning are the most effective method for preventing money laundering . Of those already adopting AI , 60 % said that the technology has already been effective in driving efficiencies in their organisation ’ s AML processes . u
Despite no longer occupying the top spot , crypto remains front of mind for AML professionals . Over half ( 53 %) of those surveyed said that the money laundering activities within their scope are predominantly linked to Cryptocurrency transactions . Cryptocurrencies ’ anonymous and decentralised nature is being exploited to conceal the origins of illicit funds , exacerbating the challenges in detection and monitoring .
