From small businesses to global enterprises to public institutions, employees are the most important asset in any organization — but they’re also the weak point in its cybersecurity defenses. These employees are not only the face of a business, but they are also a last line of defense against cyber-attacks.
Security awareness training is an education process that teaches employees about cybersecurity, IT best practices, and even regulatory compliance. A comprehensive security awareness program for employees should train them on a variety of IT, security, and other business-related topics. These may include how to avoid phishing and other types of social engineering cyberattacks, spot potential malware behaviors, report possible security threats, follow company IT policies and best practices, and adhere to any applicable data privacy and compliance regulations.
