Training and Awareness rising
Difference between awareness and Training
Employee training and awareness are critical components of a company's cybersecurity strategy. They aim to make employees aware of the risks and best practices in dealing with information security and equip them with the knowledge and skills to defend themselves against cyber threats. Here are the main aspects of employee training and awareness regarding cybersecurity:
Awareness
- Risk awareness: Employees are made aware of the different types of cyber threats that could affect the company and its data, including phishing, malware, social engineering, etc.
- Confidentiality and data protection: raising awareness of the importance of data confidentiality and compliance with data protection regulations to protect sensitive information
- Accountability: Employees are made aware that security is a shared responsibility and everyone has a role to play in protecting the organization from cyber-attacks.
- Security policies: Employees are familiarized with the company's security policies, including best practices for secure use of IT systems, password policies, access controls, etc.
- Attack detection: Training on how to recognize suspicious activity, phishing emails or other potential threats in order to report them in a timely manner.
Training
- Technical knowledge: Providing basic technical knowledge about cyber threats, security vulnerabilities, weaknesses in software, encryption techniques, etc.
- Best practices: Training on security best practices, such as secure password management, regular software updates, the use of two-factor authentication, safe web browsing, etc.
- Simulated attacks: Conduct training using simulated phishing attacks or other cyber-attack scenarios to provide hands-on training for employees and test their response.
- Compliance: Training on compliance with industry standards, legal regulations and internal information security policies.
