Security Training

 Humans are considered as the first line of defence in the cyber security posture of organisations today. By offering security awareness training programmes, businesses can educate their employees about a range of growing cyber security risks and what to do if they notice one.

With cyber criminals increasingly targeting businesses and their employees, security awareness training is more important than ever. But despite this, users often pay little attention to cyber training and end up putting their organisation’s security at risk as a consequence. So, how can security teams get employees to take training seriously?

Developing a security culture

Getting staff to understand the importance of security training for themselves and the entire organisation is a major challenge currently faced by employers. Security training, obviously, is a difficult one to tackle. It often has a negative connotation associated with it and so trying to convince employees that this training is important not just for the organisation, but also helpful for themselves, could itself be a challenge.

So a culture shift is needed to solve this problem. In that a security culture is developed within the organisation. This will help employees get onboard with security-related efforts such as training.
