The Elements Of SAT
One of the weakest points in today’s digital armor continues to be workplace security. Fortunately, there are now more solutions for businesses to protect themselves from phishing attacks, social engineering tactics, and other cyber attacks on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.
So, what should go into this type of security training? The answer is, a little bit of everything: course topics the cover different types of cybersecurity risks, simulated phishing attacks, hands-on training, analyzing user behavior, best practices, and more.
Of course, as with majority of things related to IT, this training needs to evolve with emerging cybersecurity threats while maintaining vigilance in recognizing “old” and current risks.

WHO
Needs Cybersecurity
Awareness Training?
Every. Single. Employee.
If an organization is serious about protecting its sensitive data from cybercriminals, cybersecurity training for all employees, regardless of function, is an absolute necessity.
In addition, the industry in which your company operates and the tasks it carries out can be subject to federal or state regulatory requirements that call for yearly cybersecurity awareness training for all staff – including executives, temps, and contractors.
WHAT
Does Cybersecurity Awareness Training Consist Of?
Training. Testing. Reporting.
A successful cybersecurity awareness training program should reach individuals with varied degrees of technical aptitude and cybersecurity understanding – as well as workers with different learning styles – and should combine a variety of the following:
- Formal education, such as established lessons with instructions and/or instructor
- Informational learning opportunities, such as weekly emails with tips, policy updates, and cybersecurity news announcements
- Experiential and immersive sessions, including gamification, where workers are forced to work through simulations and scenarios to assess their learning and reinforce their training so they are more prepared to tackle real-world cybersecurity threats
- Security champions, who are employees that have in-depth understanding of cybersecurity who are eager to teach and advocate best practices to their coworkers.
WHY
Is Cybersecurity Awareness Training Important?
Defense. Confidence. Culture.
Any breach in cybersecurity nowadays could have serious consequences for businesses. One small mistake can do significant harm to both the person making it and the business, who must notify both consumers and regulators of the incident. The cost of a security breach is bigger than it has ever been, and customers are more likely than ever to abandon companies and platforms that can’t safeguard their data. The risk is therefore too large for many businesses to ignore.
Employees gain insight about the cybersecurity environment through cybersecurity training by using a variety of teaching techniques to instill a culture of security compliance in your company and enhance public knowledge of cybersecurity concerns.
Common Challenges of Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Employee participation rates are less than 60% in 85% of businesses.
Proofpoint makes lessons engaging, hands-on, interactive, and relative to real-life scenarios so your employees can truly be prepared for any cyberthreat.
Outdated training material fails to educate employees about present-day security threats. But it’s also important that you continue to cover “old” or past cyberthreats in this type of course content – because we all should know that cyberthreats never really go away.
75% of firms use outdated training material that is ineffective for employees.
Through the use of Proofpoint, our security awareness training stays up to date with the latest security threats via its large network of users and experts.
Because there is an exponential amount of information that can go into cybersecurity awareness training, choosing course topics and materials can become overwhelming on administrators – and knowing where to start is only part of the problem.
Approximately 80% of administrators report that they feel overworked.
Mirazon’s experts can do the hard work for you by utilizing Proofpoint’s tools and resources to make sure you and your team have what you need – for now and the future.
