In the current digital landscape, organizations heavily rely on interconnected technologies to enhance operational efficiency, yet this dependency also exposes them to significant cybersecurity risks. Despite deploying advanced cybersecurity tools, employees remain a critical vulnerability due to their limited awareness of cybersecurity threats. Research highlights the pivotal role of employees in mitigating such risks, emphasizing the impact of human error and behavior on organizational security. This study aims to assess the level of cybersecurity awareness among employees and evaluate the effectiveness of training initiatives in enhancing organizational cybersecurity resilience. The methodology involved a comprehensive literature review, encompassing articles, journals, case studies, and books related to cybersecurity awareness, cyber threats, and employee training. Key search terms included "cybersecurity," "cyber threats," "cyberattacks," "user awareness," "cybersecurity training," and "knowledge of cybersecurity," using databases like Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Springer. The review highlighted various cybersecurity challenges faced by organizations, including internal threats from employees and external threats from hackers and malicious actors.
