Transport sector failing to train staff on cyber security, new research reveals

Just over one in 10 transport firms in the UK train their employees in cyber security, according to a survey.

The sector, writes Chris Tindall, ranked second worst out of 18 industries polled after only 11% said they ensure staff are prepared to handle email hacking, phishing and account takeover attacks.

This was despite an alarming 41% admitting they had experienced a cyberattack via email hacking.

The accommodation and food sector was the worst for training, with just 3% actively training employees in cyber security.

Utilities, real estate and manufacturing were the best with 96%, 94% and 92% respectively saying they trained staff.
