Security Awareness 

Consulting, program design, and customized trainings

One-off security training sessions don’t produce behavioral changes or reduce human risk.

If you want safer behavior in your organization, you need a continuous program designed specifically to your company’s level of knowledge, personal factors, and organizational factors.

Security Awareness is a Misnomer

Employees passing a Security Awareness test doesn’t tell you anything about their actual behavior. A gap still existing between what they know (or remember) and what they actually do. What organizations concerned with managing risk really need is a Security Behavior Program.

Don't...

  • Focus on check-the-box training developed by
    people who don’t understand human psychology
  • Only complete phishing simulations
  • Confuse compliance with security
  • Bore your employees with non-interactive
    materials or sterile corporate materials
  • Start Security Awareness Trainings without an
    end-goal in place

Do...

  • Use training to inspire positive behavior change
  • Do consider the current threat landscape, technologies, and incident drivers
  • Use compliance as a starting point for
    Security Awareness Training
  • Use tailored training to help employees be
    more effective in their jobs
  • Create an end-goal before beginning any
    type of Security Awareness Program

More Than Phishing Simulations

FAQs

Answers to the most pressing questions about Cadre's Security Awareness Program Design & Training 

Why should I invest in a Security Awareness Program

The reasons vary, but some of the driving factors include: growing dangers of ransomware, tightening of compliance requirements, or having experienced an attack before and being afraid of the next attack being worse.

Is the Security Awareness Training focused on phishing?

Phishing gets a lot of attention in Security Awareness, but it’s not the only focus here – although it’s often part of our programs.

Can I buy training without also investing in the strategic program design?

Yes. However, we almost always recommend beginning with Security Awareness Program Design if you want to effectively manage and measure human risk.

What if I already have already purchased training from companies such as KnowBe4?

That’s great – we love that you’ve taken steps to improve security awareness for your company. Now you can work with Cadre to put a formal plan in place to better use your investment and find awareness gaps to focus on next.
