Cybersecurity Training for Employees: 3 Tips for Success
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A recent survey found that roughly 60% of firms experienced a data breach in the past two years.
If you own a business, you can limit the odds of a data breach, by providing your employees with cybersecurity training. After all, most cybersecurity issues come down to human error. If you can keep human error to a minimum, you limit the risks.

This post will teach you the basics associated with cybersecurity training for employees. If you want to protect your firm, this post will give you the tools you need.

Let’s begin!

  1. Do Your Part

Before you provide employees with cybersecurity training, you first need to make sure you’ve taken care of the basics.

You’ll want to ensure all the computers on your network are using the latest operating system. This also includes any software employees may use to help them with their work.

It’s also vital that each computer has appropriate administrator privileges. This is important because if a computer has more ‘admin rights’ than it needs to, a hacker can access more of your network, and thus cause greater damage.

You may even want to install employee tracking software such as Time Clock Wizard.

In doing so, you can keep an eye on who is using a certain computer, and what they’re using it for. You can then spot signs of malicious activity, should a ‘non-employee’ gain access to a computer.

  1. Give Employees a Checklist

If you want to limit employee mistakes, you should provide them with a checklist of things they need to do, before they perform a particular action.

So, if they’re going to install software on their computer, you might ask them to go through a series of steps before completing the installation.

This might include asking the head of IT if the software is safe. It could also involve backing up the computer before the installation takes place.

You may want to print out these checklists, and place them on the desks of your employees.

  1. Provide Regular Training

You can make sure your employees are aware of cybersecurity threats by providing them with regular training sessions.

The nature of these training sessions will depend on the kind of business you run.

If employees travel for meetings, show them how to set up a private WiFi connection, before working on anything. If employees handle a lot of inbound email from customers or suppliers, you might teach them how they can spot a phishing email.

Cybersecurity Training for Employees – Don’t Avoid It

This post has taught you some of the basics associated with cybersecurity training for employees.

New cybersecurity threats are emerging every day, and so you need to hold regular training sessions with your employees. You may even want to send them a weekly email, that reminds them how they can reduce the odds of a breach.

This can all seem like a lot of work when you consider that it doesn’t actually produce any revenue. However, it’s all worth it when you realize that a data breach can have a massive impact on the reputation of your company.
