What challenges has your organization faced in implementing effective Cybersecurity Awareness Education?

Employees struggling to comprehend organizational policies and mandates.

  • If the company does not provide adequate training on policies and mandates, employees may not fully understand them. Training should be an ongoing process to ensure that employees are up to date with the latest policies and mandates.

  • If the company fails to communicate its policies and mandates effectively to its employees, they may not understand them clearly. This can be due to poor communication channels or lack of transparency.

  • Sometimes, company policies and mandates can be complex and difficult to understand. If the employees do not have the necessary background or experience, they may struggle to comprehend the policies and mandates, and worse, deter employees to read and understand them.

Limitations of using email phishing simulation alone.

  • Email phishing simulations typically only cover a small area of greater attack surfaces, such as a fake email from a well-known brand or an urgent message from a boss. However, there are many other types of cyberattacks that employees need to be aware of, such as social engineering, malware, and ransomware.

  • If employees only receive training through phishing simulations, they may start to believe that they are fully prepared to detect and respond to all types of cyber threats. This can lead to a false sense of security and cause them to let their guard down when confronted with a new or unfamiliar attack.

  • Phishing simulations typically do not provide enough context about why phishing attacks are a threat or the potential consequences of falling victim to one. Without this context, employees may not fully understand the importance of cybersecurity and may not take it as seriously as they should.

The result of the cybersecurity awareness training reached a plateau.

  • Generic training materials that are not tailored to the specific needs and mandates of the organization, and to the roles and responsibilities of employees are not effective in changing behavior. Employees tune out or disregard the training content that is irrelevant to their company and job functions.

  • Many organizations only provide cybersecurity awareness training once a year or as a one-time event, which may not be sufficient to keep up with the evolving threat landscape. To ensure that employees are consistently aware of the latest threats and best practices, ongoing training and reminders are necessary.

  • Employees may not be engaged with cybersecurity awareness training if it is presented in a boring or uninteresting manner. To increase engagement, training should be interactive, engaging, and relevant to the day-to-day work of employees.

  • Measuring the effectiveness of cybersecurity awareness training is important to determine whether the training is working or needs to be adjusted. If organizations are not using the right metrics or are not measuring results at all, they may not be able to identify areas for improvement.
