Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training educates employees, including staff, contractors, and other authorized personnel, on safeguarding themselves and their organization’s assets from potential harm. Typically delivered once or twice annually, this training is crucial for compliance with industry regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, NIST, or ISO.
While not mandated for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by compliance standards, investing in security awareness training can help mitigate risks associated with cyber threats like phishing attacks and account takeovers. By educating employees on recognizing and avoiding common cybercriminal tactics, businesses can protect against potential financial losses and data breaches.
