Employees: one of the most important assets in your organization—and potentially the weakest link in your cybersecurity program

Security Awareness Training Frequently Asked Questions
Security awareness and compliance training is designed to inform employees on how to maintain a secure and compliant environment within an organization. This training is provided to employees who have access to sensitive information or who are responsible for managing compliance-related issues, such as data privacy and regulatory requirements.
Security awareness and compliance training are important for these reasons:
- Preventing security breaches: Employee training emphasizes the importance of following security protocols and guidelines to prevent security breaches. Actionable steps derived from the training include recognizing and reporting suspicious activities, protecting sensitive information, and adhering to password policies.
- Protecting data: Compliance training underscores the importance of protecting data and confidential information, such as identifying and protecting sensitive data, understanding data protection laws and regulations, and handling data securely.
- Reducing risks: By educating staff about potential security risks, they become more aware of potential threats and can take actionable steps to mitigate them—such as recognizing phishing scams, social engineering tactics, and other common methods used by cybercriminals.
- Meeting regulatory requirements: Compliance training helps organizations adhere to industry and government regulations, which may require specific security measures and policies to be in place.
- Building a security culture: Promoting security awareness and compliance training enables organizations to build a security culture where employees embrace the importance of security and take steps to protect themselves and the organization from the threat of security incidents and reduce the risk of data breaches.
The frequency of security awareness and compliance training varies depending on the specific organization, industry, and regulations that apply to them. In general, most organizations conduct security awareness and compliance training annually or bi-annually which allows employees to refresh their knowledge of security policies and procedures, stay up-to-date on emerging threats, and comply with the latest regulations.
