Description
Why Security Awareness?
We each receive 5 phishing emails per day on average.
Ransomware infects a business every 14 seconds and costs businesses $5 million on average.
And because it's getting more and more dangerous to function online...
Security awareness is CRITICAL.
Most importantly, we (the security experts) need YOU to help keep things secure.
That's right.
In 2022, security is more than an IT or Security department function.
You may have heard professionals claim everyone is getting compromised over simple attacks that have been around for decades.
It starts off as something that's easy to prevent then grows into a threat that can end entire businesses.
"It's easy to protect yourself," some may claim.
"All you need to do is be careful what you download, who you talk to, and what you allow to happen."
They claim that people just don't care.
But if it's so easy then why do we continue to get hammered with news of more breaches?
Unfortunately, even the best security awareness programs out there are missing two key parts.
WHY you should care, and HOW these attacks work.
Making Security Awareness Better
This security awareness training course will not only give you the "what" to look out for, but also the "why" and "how".
After taking this course you'll be armed with knowledge on how to better protect yourself and your organization from threats.
Surprisingly, the biggest change will probably not be to start doing, but rather to stop doing.
You'll be shocked at how risky some of your behavior was after you finish this course.
And the best part is I sincerely want you to succeed so there's no victim-blaming here.
Just you and I working together to help make everybody safer.
