Hi everyone, welcome back. Cyber security is an important area of focus. There is a whole lot of data that is being stored and transmitted digitally. This includes sensitive data that could potentially cause damage to someone or even a whole company. We will go over some common user/employee training techniques to help reduce the risk of being attacked by cybercriminals. With this introduction out of the way, let’s get into it.
User Training
With the number of cyber attacks increasing and new vulnerabilities constantly being introduced due to new technologies, many companies require their employees to undergo security training. By requiring training for employees, it helps raise awareness for cyber attacks and reduce risk. There are a few common types of user training that may be found at many companies. Let’s look into them.
Computer Based Training
Computer based training is where an employee will watch videos regarding cyber security. After the videos or even in the middle of videos, employees may be prompted with questions to reinforce their learning of the material. This is the most common type of training that will be found at most companies.
