The Cybersecurity Confidence Gap: Are Your Employees as Secure as They Think?

**Security Approaches Around the Globe: The Confidence Gap** reports that while 86% of employees believe they can identify phishing, substantial portions still fall for phishing (24%) and deepfake scams (12%), with South Africa showing the highest scam victimization rate (68%). The research emphasizes that overconfidence increases organizational risk and advocates for sustained, hands-on training, continuous education, and frequent phishing simulations (leveraging the prevalence effect) to strengthen human risk management and foster an open security reporting culture.
