Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training teaches employees about cybersecurity, IT best practices and even regulatory compliance. A comprehensive security awareness program should train employees on how to spot the most common security threats like phishing and other types of social engineering cyber attacks. When educated, employees should be able to report on any potential security threats, follow company IT policies and best practices and adhere to any applicable data privacy and compliance regulations (GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.)
The 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations report revealed that 93% of successful security breaches start with phishing attacks.
Canary Trap has created a fully managed, cloud-based, customized and interactive Security Awareness Training program. We aim to positively engage employees with content that’s informative, enjoyable and relevant. Our unique approach can include phishing simulations, courses on IT and security best practices, data protection and compliance training. Through leveraging security awareness training our customers can protect their employees from fraud and identity theft, significantly reduce the risk of malware and ransomware outbreaks, safeguard their reputation and better secure their environment.

As the threat landscape continues to evolve we’re always developing new content designed to provide up-to-date training that’s both practical and relevant.
The benefits of security awareness training
Employers provide employees with great training as the bedrock of employee engagement. Without training, employees could be making serious mistakes, especially in the realm of security. Security awareness training enables organizations to influence behavior, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance. There are countless benefits of initiating security awareness training in your company.
Looking at the evolution of security awareness training, the regulations and protocols are more complex than ever. The sophistication of attacks combined with a growing numbers of hackers also dictate the need and importance of security awareness training. It could be the difference between a ransomware attack that cripples operations with steep costs to recover and business as usual.
