Overview

Educate and motivate your people so they can become part of your security solution

Security awareness training alone is not enough. To drive behavior change and build a security-minded culture, organizations must go beyond mere compliance-based awareness programs. Identify and focus on high-risk individuals, actively engage and motivate them and cultivate a security-conscious culture.
