Information Security Awareness Training
Even if you have the right security technology and controls in place, attackers can still penetrate your defenses by taking advantage of employees who are not security-conscious. Knowledge is power – and educating your employees about information security is vital to managing risk and countering today’s threats. Having employees who understand information security and how to minimize security risk in their everyday activities greatly improves your organization’s ability to protect sensitive information assets.
SecureWorks' Information Security Awareness Training package provides year-round instruction for all members of your workforce from tellers to executives, meeting FFIEC guidelines for awareness training while reinforcing policies and best practices. In addition to general sessions, the Information Security Awareness Training package also includes specialized instruction for specific groups within your organization such as your IT staff, internal auditors, risk managers, etc.
Training is conducted live, allowing your staff to interact with our expert instructors and ask any questions they have to ensure sessions are fully understood. The live, interactive format of our training combined with accompanying materials solidifies your employees’ understanding of information security concerns and improves their retention of key concepts and practices. Sessions are also archived and available on-demand for your organization.
