Which of the following is the GREATEST benefit of conducting an organization-wide security awareness program?

While increased awareness might lead to more incidents being reported initially, the greatest benefit is preventative through behavioral change, not just detection.

Security awareness programs educate employees on security best practices, policies, and threats, leading to a direct improvement in their day-to-day security-related behaviors and decision-making. This empowered human firewall is critical for overall organizational security.

Promoting the security strategy is a component, but not the ultimate benefit; the strategy is promoted to achieve behavioral change and reduce risk.

The goal is fewer incidents occurring due to better behavior, not just fewer being reported, and initially, more might be reported as awareness increases.
