Security budgets for 2026: how to prove the effectiveness of training with CybeReady

Audit era: why security budgets are under threat

In 2026, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face a challenging environment: while protection costs rise, business leaders demand strict accountability. Cost optimization has become the defining phrase of the year. Traditional security awareness methods that require manual management are no longer passing efficiency audits due to high maintenance costs and low employee engagement.

Comparison of security training approaches

Traditional training (Manual security awareness)

• Time consumption: Significant IT team resources required for content preparation.
• Analytics: Scattered data that is difficult to structure for reporting.
• Adaptability: Low — the same scenario is applied to all employees.

CybeReady automated platform

• Time consumption: Full automation requiring minimal intervention.
• Analytics: Instant reports with KPIs, providing ready-to-use evidence for audits and the board.
• Adaptability: Individual scenarios based on each user's specific behavior.

To successfully pass audits in 2026, companies must implement solutions that operate autonomously. The CybeReady platform not only reduces the risk of successful attacks caused by the human factor but also ensures a stable ROI.

Why CISOs choose CybeReady in 2026

The main advantage of the solution is the transition from periodic training to a continuous security culture. The platform utilizes Data Science methodologies to simulate real-world threats, allowing employees to learn without interrupting their workflow. This makes the investment transparent and easy for the finance department to justify.
