What is security awareness training and why is it important?

Security awareness training helps prevent and mitigate human risk. Designed to help users understand the role they play in combatting security breaches, effective security awareness training teaches proper cyber hygiene, security risks, and how to identify cyber attacks delivered via email and web browsing.

DigiSecuritas security awareness training is highly effective at changing employee attitudes and behaviour around critical security practices. Additional benefits include:

• Videos: Massively engaging training modules that take a best-practice micro-learning approach. Each video covers a security threat, what employees should do about it, and the consequences for them and the company should they make a mistake.
• Real-world testing: Employees answer a set of questions before training to establish a baseline and then answer those same questions every six months thereafter. Employees also answer questions after each training module to assess the impact on their security awareness. You can also test your employees' awareness of best practices around phishing and spear-phishing attacks by regularly sending test phishing emails.
• Risk scoring: Every employee receives a risk score based on testing and the position they hold within the company (some positions are more likely to be targeted).
• Customer mediation: Based on individual employee profiles, you can direct training resources to the employees who need it most to improve outcomes and reduce risk.
