The Hidden Cost of Untrained Staff (and Why It’s a Corporate Time Bomb)

Every company invests in professional development. Leadership training, technical skills, team-building. But the most expensive gap in corporate training is often ignored: cyber awareness.

Here’s the truth:

  • The average U.S. data breach costs $9.5 million.

  • 82% of breaches involve human error.

  • One employee’s careless click can grind operations to a halt.

That’s not just IT’s problem; it’s a business problem. Untrained employees aren’t just less productive, they’re a liability!
