End user security awareness training for today\u2019s workforce is a must and will help organizations protect against ever-evolving cyberthreats, especially phishing. By taking the time and making the effort to educate your employees, your organization can greatly diminish the risks of cyberattacks to your network\u2019s and your organization\u2019s security.<\/p>\n

This blog explains what end user awareness training encompasses, why it’s important for organization, and provide a list of a dozen key topics for discussion required for a comprehensive end user security awareness training program.<\/p>\n

Why is User Security Awareness Training Important?<\/h2>\n

A workforce that is unaware of all the types of dangers lurking online are a serious security risk to any organization\u2019s network and mission. In short, today\u2019s workforce cannot be untrained in cybersecurity awareness.<\/p>\n

Cybercriminals will aim their attacks on your employees because they consider them vulnerable and high-value targets that can be easily manipulated into clicking on links in a phishing email; unknowingly initiating an online drive-by download; or unwittingly granting a threat actor access to an office or facility.<\/p>\n

One successful attack\u2014as say the result of a single wrong click on hyperlink\u2014can lead to millions of dollars for criminals and your organization becoming a repeat target of more attacks. The price paid by an organization\u2014even one with\u00a0cyber insurance<\/a>\u2014could be millions of dollars in compliance fines and in the loss of brand confidence, revenue, shareholder value, and more.<\/p>\n

What is End User Awareness Training?<\/h2>\n

In order to equip your staff, an end user awareness training program is a better teacher than them having to experience the painful ramifications of a successful cyberattack. This is a case where \u201clearning from experience\u201d is extremely undesirable.<\/p>\n

An end user awareness training program is an initiative that organizations undertake to fortify their workforce to prevent cybercriminals from being successful. Some corporations design their own training programs, but we recommend engaging with a cybersecurity vendor that has a cyber awareness training program along with years of proven success and experience in defending against cyberthreats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
