Security awareness training provides cyber-security education to your employees focusing on information security threats and your organisations policies and procedures for addressing them. The topics covered in security awareness training often go beyond the digital world and also discuss physical security. Training can take a number of forms but is most often presented in an online or computer-based format.
Rather than a one-off event, security awareness training is most powerful when delivered as a continual programme. The training and the programme are integral to building a culture of security in digitally dependent organisations.
Why Is Security Awareness Training Needed?
Cyber threats are continual in our always-connected work environments. To add to this, the threats change continually. Some of the most significant threats to organisations are its employees. Hackers know people can provide soft attack surfaces making their exploits successful.
Security awareness training helps equip employees with the knowledge they need to combat these threats. Without training employees cannot be expected to know what threats exist or what to do about them. Being taught what their employers consider risky or acceptable and the clues to look for that indicate threats, drives employee behaviour on how to respond when they see them.
Today, security is everyone’s responsibility. Seemingly harmless behaviours or small mistakes can lead to big consequences. Security awareness training helps
get everyone on the same page, reduces risks and incidents, and helps the entire workforce protect their organisation and themselves.
