Description: User education in the context of ethical hacking refers to the training provided to users to help them understand security practices. This type of education is fundamental for creating a security culture within organizations, as users are often the weakest link in the defense chain against cyberattacks. Through training programs, the aim is to raise employee awareness about cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and security vulnerabilities. User education not only includes teaching best practices for the safe use of technology but also promoting a critical mindset towards suspicious emails and unverified links. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining secure passwords and regularly updating software. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, user education becomes an essential tool for mitigating risks and protecting sensitive organizational information. By empowering users with knowledge and skills, a proactive approach to security is fostered, which can significantly reduce the likelihood of security incidents.
