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-284Improper Access Control4,832The awareness and training policy mandates training on access control practices, directly reducing the likelihood of improper access control weaknesses being introduced or exploited.
CWE-287Improper Authentication4,730Documented procedures ensure personnel are trained on authentication mechanisms, tangibly lowering the risk of improper authentication being exploited.
CWE-269Improper Privilege Management2,907Policy requires training on privilege management and least privilege, making it harder to exploit improper privilege management weaknesses.
CWE-732Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource1,824Training policy covers correct permission assignment, reducing the ability to exploit incorrect permission assignments for critical resources.
CWE-693Protection Mechanism Failure476Procedures for training on protection mechanisms reduce the chance of protection mechanism failures being present or exploitable.
CWE-657Violation of Secure Design Principles19Establishing and updating awareness policy promotes adherence to secure design principles through ongoing training, preventing related violations.
