Overview

Importance of cyber
security awareness
training

Cyber security awareness is critical in today’s digital world. With so much sensitive information and critical systems online, understanding the risks and how to mitigate them is essential for businesses and individuals.

In Australia, statistics reveal that cyber threats are on the rise, with the Australian Cyber Security Centre reporting an average of 69 cybercrime incidents per day in 2021-2022, up 13% on the previous year. This growing concern means individuals and organisations must prioritise cyber security awareness to protect data, prevent security breaches and comply with regulations.

One of the main objectives of cyber security awareness is to protect sensitive data such as personal information, financial data and intellectual property. By educating employees on potential threats and best practices organisations can reduce the likelihood of data breaches and associated costs.

Prevention of security breaches is a key part of cyber security awareness. Through training and education employees can learn to identify and avoid phishing attacks, ransomware and other malicious activities that can compromise system integrity.

Compliance with regulations is another reason to invest in cyber security awareness. Data protection laws such as the Australian Privacy Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) require organisations to implement measures to protect personal information. By providing employees with the knowledge and skills to comply with these regulations’ businesses can avoid fines and legal action.

A comprehensive cyber security awareness program should include employee training and education focusing on key areas such as recognising threats, safe online practices and reporting suspicious activity.

This enables employees to take an active role in maintaining a secure environment and helps build a security conscious organisational culture. A regularly updated, proactive training program ensures employees stay current with evolving threats and are equipped to handle an ever-changing cyber landscape.

Top level management buy-in and support is critical to a cyber security awareness program. By allocating resources for training and promoting a security focused culture organisations can demonstrate their commitment to protecting valuable assets and customer trust.

Employees are key to maintaining a secure environment. They are your business’s human firewall, the first line of defence against cyber threats and their vigilance and proactive behaviour can make all the difference in protecting your digital ecosystem.

By investing in employee cyber security awareness training and securing management support organisations can create a more secure environment and minimise the impact of cyber threats on business.

FAQ

Who should do cyber security awareness training?

All employees within an organisation should do cyber security awareness training regardless of their role or department. This includes full-time, part-time and contract workers, temporary staff and interns.

Since cyber threats often target human vulnerabilities and anyone with access to company systems or data can introduce security risks, it’s essential that every employee understands basic cyber security principles and practices to maintain a secure work environment. In some cases, specialist training may be required for employees in specific roles such as IT staff who handle more sensitive information or systems.

How often should employees do cyber security awareness training?

Employees should do cyber security awareness training at least annually as it helps keep them up-to-date with the latest threats, security best practices and company policies. However, more frequent training or ongoing reinforcement is recommended to keep employees vigilant and retain the information they’ve learned.

New employees should receive training as part of their onboarding process and training should be updated whenever there are significant changes within the organisation or its systems or new regulations are introduced.

How long does the training take?

We have created modules that meet the Australian government’s Essential 8 requirements. These modules are short and can be completed in a few hours per employee.
