Your Challenge
- Of all of the enterprise security breaches that occur, greater than 50% derive from employees acting out of ignorance or error. These problems can be addressed with effective security awareness training.
- Security awareness training must cover many topics and can take many forms; understanding what to teach and how to teach it complicates the process and impedes the efforts of many enterprises.
- Training itself is only half the battle: testing is essential to demonstrating that training is effective.
Our Advice
Critical InsightOnce-a-year security training and testing, although popular, is one of the least effective security training paradigms. Frequent “microtraining” combined with on-going testing yields greater uptake and a more secure environment.
Upon completion of the work outlined in this Solution Set, you will have established enterprise training needs, determined appropriate delivery mechanisms, and implemented an appropriate enterprise security awareness training and testing program.
