Cybersecurity Awareness Training

Cybersecurity Awareness Training

Cybersecurity Awareness Training for your employees is a critical element of the overall cybersecurity program for your organization. Your employees should clearly understand the value of protecting data and other assets the organization is responsible for safekeeping. They should appreciate the importance of online protection in maintaining good relationships with clients, partners, investors, and other stakeholders. And the risks involved when that protective barrier is breached.

Your employees must understand the variety of cyber risks and attacks that can occur, and should be able to define phishing, hacking, ransomware, and other common threats. They also need to be trained in what action to take if they suspect something is not quite right. Employees must be kept aware of your organization's policies and procedures in the area of information security and IT, including escalation procedures, contingency plans, and more. As cyber threats increase, new technologies like Deepfakes and pop-up ads from loyalty programs are blurring the lines between what can be considered secure and what cannot.

To effectively deliver this mine of information, employee cybersecurity training must be engaging. It must be repetitive and frequent. And it must be easy to remember and to apply. 

Cybersecurity needs to be a top priority in virtually all business decisions today.

Cybersecurity Awareness Training is an important component of compliance with certain security frameworks and regulations, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GLBA as well as NIST and HITRUST. Depending on your organization's need, your Cybersecurity Awareness Training can include segments on managing cardholder data (CHD), data privacy requirements for protected health information (PHI), special considerations for Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and similar targeted content.
