Security awareness training teaches employees computer and information security best practices and educates them on current security threats. It aims to protect confidential information from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction, covering both digital and physical threats.
This training addresses the evolving threat landscape, including phishing, social engineering, malware, password security, mobile security, social media safety, privacy, and remote work. Physical security topics include tailgating, theft, fraud, vandalism, espionage, and data protection.
Typically computer-based, training includes interactivities, gamification, role-playing, and simulated phishing campaigns for engagement and retention. Programs track participation and success, offering additional resources like microlearning, blogs, newsletters, infographics, and posters.
Overall, security awareness training is essential for creating a security-conscious culture and protecting the organization from threats.
Why do you need Security Awareness Training?
Bad actors often use times of fear, uncertainty, and doubt to further their efforts to compromise businesses and individuals for nefarious reasons. Cybercriminals sent out 1.5 million COVID-19 related phishing emails per day during the peak of the pandemic and their efforts have only increased. Now more than ever with a remote workforce, it’s important to have employee security awareness training in place to help protect your business.
According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigation Report, the human element continues to be a key driver of 82% of breaches. Phishing scams, social engineering and business email compromise attacks pose serious threats to businesses. Malware and stolen credentials as a result of these attacks emphasizes the importance of having a strong security awareness program.
Furthermore, the average cost of a breach in 2022 is $4.35 million globally, whereas security awareness training costs a fraction of that. Educating your employees will not only reduce your risk but could save you money in the long run.

How do you engage employees?
Employees don’t want to take mandatory training courses. Adults need motivation to pay attention.
Production Quality
The learner needs to feel compelled to engage with the material. Getting the learner’s attention from the beginning helps to hold their focus throughout their information security training.
Content that Creates Value
Adults need to see value in the training material – They need to know what they can take away from it that furthers their interests or helps them. In the case of cybersecurity, they need to know how the learning will help protect them, their job, and their families.
Relevant and Relatable
Adults also need to relate learning material back to what they know or have experienced. It’s important that they see imagery relevant to their day-to-day lives. If it’s not relevant to them, it can come across as a waste of their time.
Break the Routine
Mandatory training can get routine. Integrate engaging and immersive content, such as game-based simulations, virtual reality, and role-playing to help keep learners engaged.

“We love using Inspired eLearning because of the quality of the classes. We picked several topics and were impressed by the depth of knowledge gained in a short period of time. The frequent small quizzes during each presentation made the test at the end easier. Lastly, it saved us a significant amount of time in not developing our own training program on these subjects.”
