Security Awareness

Understand where you are and where you want to go.

This is a critical first step in the continual improvement process. You need to assess and analyze your critical employee risks and identify employee behaviors that need to change, or be sustained, to reduce these risks.

The Adaptive Phishing Simulator provides an accurate reading of how well your employees can identify and properly respond to email phishing attempts. This full-featured Anti-Phishing tool allows you to create phishing campaigns that “adapt” over time to be more sophisticated and targeted to key risk areas. Remedial training can be assigned automatically to those who take the bait.

You need an overall awareness plan that targets your key risk areas.

The plan should describe the desired user behaviors needed to mitigate risks and identify the desired outcomes of your awareness efforts. A plan will consist of a personal or onsite training component from either management or from IT Training Solutions’ on-site trainers. The online modular training is then reinforced and taught with an option for formal completion and legal acknowledgment of information.

The plan will focus on what needs to be taught and reinforced as well as which groups of employees need which levels of training.

Training is the foundation of any good awareness program.

You need to effectively communicate your awareness message in the right way, to the right people, at the right time. This can only be accomplished with training content that is flexible and adapts to your ever-changing needs. Put it into practice.

Reinforcement is essential to behavior change.

While training is the foundation of your awareness program, reinforcement is a key factor in making sure your message sticks. A reinforcement plan, with supporting activities, helps ensure that your core principles around security, privacy, and compliance become part of your organizational culture.
