I am a traditional girl in many respects. Old school.
My now husband was being graded against a stringent list of do’s and don’ts which he knew nothing about.
In retrospect, it was my unconscious and feeble attempt at ‘security.’
I will certainly pass on some of my beliefs to my daughter. But admittedly, many of my beliefs are definitely out dated.
Tired.
Today’s Cyber scope does not allow for the retrospective, the retroactive nor the outdated.
Old-school security awareness training doesn’t hack it anymore. Today, your employees are
frequently exposed to sophisticated phishing and ransomware attacks.
Organizations must approach the cyber landscape current, correct and proactive, or pay a hefty price.
Six (6) Up-to-date Security Awareness Training Outcomes you need:
- Advanced Phishing Reporting that provides powerful features. For example, a report of phishing failures by group or manager
- At-a-glance Training Campaigns Dashboard to see campaign status and completion percentage

Security Awareness Training that train your users by giving them access to the world’s largest library of security awareness training content which include interactive modules, videos, games, posters and newsletters cannot be underestimated.
Additionally, automated training campaigns with scheduled reminder emails reinforces a proactive approach to Security Awareness. And the Results Enterprise-strength reports, show statistics and graphs for both training and phishing must be ready for management.
