What Is Security Awareness Training?

Security awareness training involves providing formal cybersecurity education to your workforce about a variety of threats to information security and technology and your company’s policies and procedures for addressing them.

Why Is Security Awareness Training Needed?

Security awareness training is critical because cyber threats abound in our always-connected work environments. The point of security awareness training is to equip employees with the knowledge they need to combat these threats.

How Should Security Awareness Training Be Approached?

The mission of a good training program should be providing concise, actionable, and memorable advice about how to reduce risks related to cybersecurity and information technology, whether digital or physical.

What Are Some Security Training and Awareness Best Practices?

Break learning into chunks, focus on your greatest risks, make it resonate, and avoid 'Been There, Done That'.

What Is The Relationship Between Security Awareness Training and Policy?

Policies are written with a distinct tone and approach. If your training looks like your policy, it won’t have its intended impact. Training must be a whole different realm of communication.

What Topics Should Security Awareness Training Cover?

The best training initiatives are tailored to individual organizations and cultures and cover the most pertinent risks. This helps ensure the training communications are as relevant as possible and stand the best chance of sticking with employees.

How Do I Know Security Awareness Training is Working?

How Often Incidents Are Reported, Reported Phishing Email Percentage, Direct Assessment of Employee Knowledge, and How Much Incident Remediation Costs.
