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-200Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor10,204Trained staff understand data-handling requirements and are less likely to expose sensitive information through misconfiguration or poor design.
CWE-284Improper Access Control4,832Security training teaches correct access-control models and enforcement, lowering the incidence of improper access control.
CWE-287Improper Authentication4,730Development programs cover authentication best practices, making weak or missing authentication less likely.
CWE-732Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource1,824Training addresses permission management, reducing incorrect permission assignments on critical resources.
CWE-311Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data552Privacy and security curricula stress encryption requirements, reducing missing encryption of sensitive data.
CWE-693Protection Mechanism Failure476Skilled personnel implement protection mechanisms correctly, lowering protection-mechanism failures.
CWE-250Execution with Unnecessary Privileges305Workforce programs emphasize least-privilege principles, directly reducing unnecessary privilege assignments.
CWE-657Violation of Secure Design Principles19The program explicitly teaches secure design principles, decreasing violations of those principles.
