Implementations targeting this control (0)

CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE	Name	CVEs	Why this control addresses it
`CWE-200`	Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor	11,000+	Trained staff understand data-handling requirements and are less likely to expose sensitive information through misconfiguration or poor design.
`CWE-284`	Improper Access Control	6,900+	Security training teaches correct access-control models and enforcement, lowering the incidence of improper access control.
`CWE-287`	Improper Authentication	5,200+	Development programs cover authentication best practices, making weak or missing authentication less likely.
`CWE-732`	Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource	1,900+	Training addresses permission management, reducing incorrect permission assignments on critical resources.
`CWE-693`	Protection Mechanism Failure	700+	Skilled personnel implement protection mechanisms correctly, lowering protection-mechanism failures.
`CWE-311`	Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data	500+	Privacy and security curricula stress encryption requirements, reducing missing encryption of sensitive data.
`CWE-250`	Execution with Unnecessary Privileges	300+	Workforce programs emphasize least-privilege principles, directly reducing unnecessary privilege assignments.
`CWE-657`	Violation of Secure Design Principles	20	The program explicitly teaches secure design principles, decreasing violations of those principles.
