Security Awareness for New Professionals: How Do You Start?
Security awareness training is a critical component of operational security, especially when bringing new talent into an organization. It's all about educating employees, contractors, and other stakeholders – particularly those who might be new to professional environments – about cybersecurity risks, best practices, and their essential role in protecting the organization's assets.
This training typically covers foundational topics like:
- Identifying and reporting phishing emails
- Creating strong, unique passwords
- Handling sensitive data securely
- Understanding and following company security policies and procedures
Regular, engaging training sessions, simple simulated phishing exercises, and clear, ongoing communication are key to reinforcing these best practices and fostering a strong security-aware culture from day one.
For those of you who work with new hires or people just starting their careers, what's one foundational security concept you always make sure to cover first? Or, what's your most effective tip for making security awareness relatable to someone new to the professional world?
