Benefits of Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training is designed to educate your employees and other stakeholders on the various cyber threats that exist, how to recognize them, and steps to take to keep the company safe. The benefits of security awareness training are countless, but here are a few of the most valuable ones.
Human error accounts for 95% of cyber breaches. Adequately trained employees have the tools, resources, and confidence to recognize security threats when they arise and how to properly respond. The more your employees know, the better they can serve as a defense mechanism.
Security awareness training teaches employees about the common types of social engineering attacks. Using methods such as phishing simulations gives users insight on how to respond in certain situations, thus reducing the risk of a breach.
Regardless of what industry you operate in, there are several standards and regulations that you must adhere to. If customer data or other sensitive information is compromised, you run the risk of penalty. Security awareness training ensures that your employees are familiar with compliance policies from day one.
A cyber breach can be costly for your business, resulting in financial loss, reputational damage, and productivity loss. It can take days, weeks, or even months to resume normal operations. If your employees understand the cyber security policies, downtime can be minimized.
How to Develop a Security Awareness Program
The main components of a security awareness program that your organization should take into consideration are as follows.
Baseline Phishing Test
First, you need to gauge your end users knowledge of cyber security by performing an initial baseline phishing test. Our team can help you facilitate the assessment and interpret the results to determine what’s needed to create a successful strategy.
Informative Training Content
To maximize the effectiveness of your security awareness training program, the content you use needs to be engaging and informative to the end user. Phishing simulations and related training modules will encourage participation, reduce risk, and change behaviors.
Planning and Executive Support
Before establishing security awareness training initiatives, you must obtain support from the C-suite or executive team. By leveraging the expertise of Mindcore’s CISO consultants, you’ll be able to lay the foundation for the program clearly and concisely.
Real-Time Reporting
Through proper analysis and reporting, you’ll be able to evaluate the results of your efforts and determine whether the security awareness training program is working. Our team will help to ensure that it aligns with your organization’s unique needs and goals.
