Security Awareness Training
What Is Security Awareness Training?
Security awareness training is the process of providing ongoing, structured cybersecurity education to your employees to protect themselves and your organization’s assets from loss or harm.
The training curriculum, typically online or computer-based, will cover a variety of IT security threats, both digital and physical, along with your company’s policies and procedures for addressing them.
Benefits of Security Awareness Training
Done right, security awareness training offers substantial benefits:
- Prevents a majority of potential data breaches, reducing your risk of data loss, downtime, ransomware payments and liability
- Improves employee work habits related to email and internet use
- Empowers employees to protect company resources from emerging threats often overlooked by traditional security measures like antivirus
- Fosters a company culture of continual improvement and education for success in a competitive marketplace
- Reinforces the adoption of company policies (often left unread)
- Enhances your organization’s compliance with industry regulations and standards
- Develops a security-focused company culture that improves employee morale and company loyalty
Security Awareness Training is an integral part of preserving your organization’s critical data, along with email and DNS filtering, multifactor authentication, and data backup.
