What is cybersecurity training?
An uncomfortable truth about cyberattacks and data breaches is that, according to a study by Stanford University, 88% are caused by human error. If someone on your team accidentally clicks a phishing link, delivers a file to a hacker posing as a colleague, or fails to follow secure data protocols, the consequences can be devastating.
Cybersecurity training addresses these risks by teaching employees how to recognize, avoid, and respond to potential threats. It ensures that the technological protocols and systems your IT team implements are effectively supported by safe day-to-day practices across the organization.
What impact does cybersecurity training have?
Cybersecurity training is one of the most effective investments a company can make to protect against cyber threats. Cybersecurity training is one of the most effective investments a company can make to protect against cyber threats.
By empowering your staff with cybersecurity knowledge, it helps mitigate the risk of falling victim to inconvenient and costly attacks on your IT infrastructure. This training supports business continuity, preserves client trust, and ensures compliance with legal standards, making it a cornerstone of any robust cybersecurity strategy.
Here are some ways staff cybersecurity training benefits your business:
Preventing phishing
Informing your staff about what phishing attempts look like will make them less likely to fall for one. Since hackers are constantly growing more sophisticated, regular, ongoing IT security training is key.
Optimizing everyday security
Teaching overall best cybersecurity practices will help your team make better decisions across all aspects of data protection whether or not there is an immediate threat.
Shoring up remote work
If your team has remote workers, conducting IT training online is a great way to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
What does cybersecurity training teach?
Cybersecurity training instructs workers in a broad variety of topics, including:
- General understanding of cybersecurity threats: Giving your team context on both the types of cybersecurity threats they might face as well as the financial, legal, and reputational damage a breach can have on your business will help them understand the importance of safe and responsible practices.
- Data security: Everything from picking secure, non-repetitive passwords to implementing appropriate data encryption to even what your team members post on social media can impact your business’s ability to keep data safe. IT security training will instruct your team on both risky behaviors and best practice to replace them with.
- Recognizing phishing and social engineering: Hackers are constantly becoming more sophisticated and can fool even savvy team members who are not up-to-date on new cybersecurity schemes. And if your team members have packed schedules or are managing heavy workloads, it can be easy for them to accidentally click a phishing link if they’re not aware of the risks.
If you have team members who work remotely, outside of your physical office, it is even more important for them to learn robust cybersecurity practices.
Social engineering schemes in particular are designed to manipulate, coerce, and confuse workers – which is why cybersecurity solutions involve not just technological practices but understanding and being mindful of human behavior.
What is the best way to learn cybersecurity?
- Focus on your specific business: Depending on the industry you are in, your business will be more susceptible to certain kinds of cybersecurity attacks. It may also have to adhere to specific regulatory guidelines. Good cybersecurity training will instruct your team on how to both manage cybersecurity practices and stay industry-compliant.
- Identify vulnerabilities and answer specific questions: Your IT provider knows your business from top to bottom. If they are a good partner, they will be able to focus their training around structural vulnerabilities in your business — whether because of industry practices or human behavior – and teach your team to correct them. They will also be able to dovetail teaching into their overall cybersecurity services offerings so everything is cohesive and clear, and address specific concerns your team has.
- Keep your staff updated: Keep your team up to date on new developments in phishing and social engineering practices, as well as new forms of cybersecurity to practice.
