What is Security Awareness Training?

Year after year, studies indicated that over 90% of system breaches and subsequent data losses are attributed to human error. Cyber security and information security awareness training is the proven methodology for reducing the risk of human error by training employees on the threats to business systems, how to identify them and then how to appropriately respond to them to prevent breaches.

Security awareness training significantly reduces cyber risks to the business through the simple act of making employees “aware” of them.

It is a continual process of educating employees on the ever-changing threats. Good training programmes start with the fundamentals with content maturing over time — to keep pace with the threat landscape. It’s essential.

Risk Crew's customised and engaging cyber security awareness training courses are delivered in either face-to-face workshops or over computer-based-training platforms to ensure your staff understand, recognise and respond to the specific cyber security threats to your business.

“We weren't receiving results we needed from our security awareness programme until we added in training workshops. It has reduced our security risk by creating end-user awareness of critical & current security threats such as social engineering. Risk Crew made it easy to tailor the quiz to meet our specific training goals.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between information security and cyber security?

Information security refers to the protection of all information regardless of its formatting, including paper documents, digital, intellectual property, verbal or visual communications. Cyber security refers to the protection of digital information that is processed, stored or transmitted in and across isolated and network systems.

What are the key factors in conducting cyber security awareness training?

Effective cyber security awareness training should be relevant, entertaining, thought provoking, interactive and include examples or simulations. The objective is to change behaviours. To accomplish this a good programme needs to change mindsets. It must inspire people to care. To stimulate their thinking and get them generally interested in cyber security you need to make the subject matter personal — provoking the motivation to care.

What subjects should typically be included in cyber security awareness training?

Basic cyber security awareness training topics should address the intrinsic value of the business data, information on the threat actors seeking that data and the current and most effective methods they use to obtain it (such as phishing, malware, technical and social engineers attacks), how to spot these attacks and where and how to report them. Cyber security awareness training should not be confused with training staff on the implementation of cyber security policies, procedures and controls.

How often should we conduct cyber security awareness training?

Best practice is to train employees on cyber security policies, procedures and controls upon indoctrination and conduct cyber security awareness training at least once a year.
