Delivering uninspiring and outdated training

Engagement is crucial for effective training. Avoid using dry and obsolete content that fails to capture your employees' attention. Strive to provide timely, engaging, and relatable training. Leverage interactive platforms and user-friendly tools to create an immersive learning experience that resonates with your team.

Measuring activity instead of behavior outcomes

While tracking completion rates and simulated phishing exercises can provide some insights, it's essential to focus on measuring behavior outcomes. Evaluate if employees genuinely understand security principles and if their behavior reflects a commitment to security.

Creating a culture of blame and distrust

Approach security training as an opportunity for growth and improvement, not as a blame game. Foster a supportive environment where employees feel comfortable reporting security concerns and asking questions. Emphasize collective responsibility, making it clear that cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility.

Lack of support and participation from leadership

Leadership plays a pivotal role in setting the tone for your security training program. Visible support and active participation from executives and managers are crucial. Encourage leadership to champion security initiatives and actively engage in training to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the organization.
