We all understand the importance of keeping our teams updated on the latest cyber threats. With cyber attacks on the rise, staying ahead is crucial to protecting your business from potential breaches.

However, annual cyber security training just isn’t cutting it anymore.

While it’s great that many organizations have made it a routine part of their calendar, ask any security leader and they’ll tell you… employees often find it time-consuming and uninspiring. From clicking through slides to skimming videos at double speed, it’s usually seen as just another box to tick.

Even for those who do engage with the training, there’s little evidence it leads to real behavior change. The traditional approach lacks interactivity and fails to connect with employees on a personal level. It’s more about ticking boxes than building a culture of cyber security vigilance.

But there’s a better way. It’s all about small, regular, human-centric interventions. Think of it like the speed signs you see when driving. They remind people to stop and think before engaging in risky behavior. Just as the signs work for driving, this kind of training makes your employees more aware of what they’re clicking.

By nudging employees toward safer decisions in real-time, we can help them develop better cyber hygiene habits without overwhelming them with information overload. It’s about empowering them to make smarter choices every day.

With the prevalence of Generative AI and third-party tools, it’s more important than ever to give employees the guidance they need to navigate potential risks. Whether through real-time coaching or policy reminders, we can help employees understand the importance of safeguarding sensitive data.

While there may still be a place for annual training, it’s time to adopt a more proactive approach to cyber security education.
