Why is security awareness training important?

Although there are many complex and technical methods cyber hackers use to attack and infiltrate systems, it is well known that targeting people often provides the path of least resistance.

Common methods of targeting people are generally referred to as social engineering attacks, which remain one of the most prevalent cyber security threats. Social engineering attacks prey on the targeted person’s level of security awareness and their ability to identify the potential threat.

Sentricor’s security awareness training delivers the knowledge necessary to greatly reduce your risk and vulnerability to social engineering attacks.

Since the human element can lead to unintended vulnerabilities like unsecured accounts, passwords, and data, it is also important to review and reinforce IT security best practices.

Why do organizations need security awareness training?

Ongoing security awareness training is necessary to stay ahead of attackers and educate users to identify threats and become more aware of potential risks.

Since social engineering attacks rely on human interaction, they can be very dangerous and difficult to track down. Security awareness training will help reduce the probability of human error and decrease the likelihood that someone will fall into a trap.

Phishing attacks use email or malicious websites to imitate a trustworthy source to solicit information often by creating a reasonable scenario for the target to hand the information over.

If you needed to break into a safe, would it be easier to use a set of complex tools and algorithms to crack the combination or simply find a way to deceive and persuade someone who knows the code to give it to you?

Many unsuspecting people have voluntarily handed over personal information, financial information, and passwords to the individuals who intend to misuse it.

Sentricor provides phishing simulations and testing to help ensure your people know what to do when they encounter a threat.

It is critical to keep up with evolving security threats. Sentricor can help empower your organization’s people to play an important role in your company’s IT security infrastructure.
