Build an Enterprise IT Security Training Program

More than 101 – training employees to close your biggest security gap.

  • 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.
