To protect sensitive information
Training helps end users gain knowledge of the security protocols and practices to help prevent accidental data leaks or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
To ensure end users’ adherence to regulations.
Training ensures end users understand their responsibilities and helps the organization stay compliant with their regulatory standards.
To respond to incidents effectively
Training provides end users with the knowledge and guidelines to follow during a security incident, helping the organization respond more quickly and effectively.
To foster a culture of security awareness
Training helps to foster a culture of security awareness where employees recognize their responsibility in safeguarding the organization’s assets and data.
