You don’t need a large library of security awareness training content to get the most value from your program. Why keep bombarding all employees with new guidelines?
Employees will be paralyzed if you don’t do these things:
1. Identify the top risks to the organization
2. Explain how they can be a target
3. Show them a variety of cyber attacks
4. Provide a safe place to practice
5. Give them feedback and rewards for participating
Focusing employees on the top risks and helping them spot clues more effectively will pay the biggest dividends. Showing them examples of security incidents caused by phishing and social engineering attacks will reinforce the patterns they need to be looking for.
