What Is Security Awareness Training?
Security awareness training is the process of giving your staff formal cybersecurity education on the range of threats to information security and on your company's policies and procedures for dealing with them. The topics often reach beyond the digital world into physical security and how employees can keep themselves and the people close to them safe. The training takes several forms, most often delivered online or on a computer.
Rather than a one off event, security awareness training pays off most when it is treated as an essential continuing practice inside a wider awareness program. Both the training and the program are central to building a security culture in modern, digitally dependent organizations.
