Security Awareness Training Setup Tips

Once end-users are engaged and your stakeholders understand the value of Security Awareness Training, it’s time to setup your training program. While there is no one size fits all user education program, we recommend the following:

• Run at least one to two phishing campaigns per month
• Run a minimum of one to three training courses per quarter
• Run compliance courses at time of need (usually driven by audits)

Note: Depending on the needs of each organization, you may want to increase the frequency and adjust intervals throughout the year.

Webroot Security Awareness training includes numerous pre-built phishing templates you can use, including real-world phishing scenarios that are, essentially, harmless versions we have seen in the real-world.

We also include professionally developed and engaging topical training courses that you will be proud to share within your company. Popular topics covered in the training courses include:

• Cybersecurity best practices
• Phishing
• Topical cybersecurity
• 5-minute micro-learning courses
• In-depth compliance courses (PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, SEC/FINRA, etc.)

We recommend using the Webroot Security Awareness Training Program Scheduling feature to combine and schedule campaign training sessions to set up a continuous cybersecurity training program.

With the program scheduling feature, you are able to choose to schedule one or many Welcome Email, Phishing Simulations, and Training Courses. Plus, add in a follow-up campaign summary report to automate your entire training program.
