Course Description

Creating Effective User Awareness Training is based on two key principles:

  • Creating real skill – threat recognition skill – within our whole organisation. We don’t build real skills by making people take tests after we have lectured them nor by conducting clandestine tests to fool them. Skill is created by support and practice
  • Helping information security become coaches rather than lecturers (physical or virtual”). A coach has a personal relationship with those they are trying to develop. They may set challenging targets but they are focused on facilitating everyone to achieve those targets using a process of support, guidance and positive feedback.
  • In conclusion, Creating Effective User Awareness Training is focused on the design, development and deployment of security education that meets your risk management objectives. There are just too many approaches to creating awareness that are either not fit for purpose or just plain sneaky in their approach.

    Success from Our Learners

    "Cybrary really helped me get up to speed and acquire a baseline level of technical knowledge. It offers a far more comprehensive approach than just learning from a book. It actually shows you how to apply cybersecurity processes in a hands-on way"

    Don Gates

    Principal Systems Engineer/SAIC

    "Cybrary’s SOC Analyst career path was the difference maker, and was instrumental in me landing my new job. I was able to show the employer that I had the right knowledge and the hands-on skills to execute the role."

    Cory

    Cybersecurity analyst/

    "I was able to earn my CISSP certification within 60 days of signing up for Cybrary Insider Pro and got hired as a Security Analyst conducting security assessments and penetration testing within 120 days. This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Cybrary mentor community."

    Mike

    Security Engineer and Pentester/

    "Becoming a Cybrary Insider Pro was a total game changer. Cybrary was instrumental in helping me break into cybersecurity, despite having no prior IT experience or security-related degree. Their career paths gave me clear direction, the instructors had real-world experience, and the virtual labs let me gain hands-on skills I could confidently put on my resume and speak to in interviews."

    Cassandra

    Information Security Analyst/Cisco Systems

    "I was able to earn both my Security+ and CySA+ in two months. I give all the credit to Cybrary. I’m also proud to announce I recently accepted a job as a Cyber Systems Engineer at BDO... I always try to debunk the idea that you can't get a job without experience or a degree."

    Casey

    Cyber Systems Engineer/BDO

    "Cybrary has helped me improve my hands-on skills and pass my toughest certification exams, enabling me to achieve 13 advanced certifications and successfully launch my own business. I love the practice tests for certification exams, especially, and appreciate the wide-ranging training options that let me find the best fit for my goals"
