What is cybersecurity awareness training?

Employees play a major role in securing your business. 

The human element

The most efficient way to educate your employees on how to fortify the human element of your company's security is through cybersecurity awareness training. For remote workers in particular, phishing, social engineering, compromised passwords and weak network security can expose your business to attackers.

On-demand training

Cybersecurity training is typically done on demand, as an online course, so that it can be completed at the learner's own pace, taken anywhere, and repeated as often as necessary. Since nobody learns when they're bored, training that engages the learner is key to actually changing user behavior.

Completed annually

To keep employees fresh on how to protect themselves online, and make them aware of new, emerging threats and attack techniques, it's recommended that training be completed at least once a year. Many business compliance or insurance requirements also mandate annual training.

Why is it so important for businesses?

Increased security is the obvious reason why all businesses, big or small, should have employees of all levels learn the importance of protecting themselves and your company from "human exploits" and cyber attacks.

• As many as 60% of hacked small and medium-sized businesses go out of business after six months.
• The global average cost of a data breach is $3.92 million.

Many compliance regulations such as HIPAA, PCI, SOX, GDPR and CCPA, and even some insurance requirements, require cybersecurity training for all employees.
