Summary
In this new blog, guest author Nick Wilding from RESILIA® Cyber Resilience looks at the increasing role Learning and Development has to play strengthening the critical human factor in keeping digital systems safe with cybersecurity training. Think long term and design a user education and awareness programme that constantly weaves cybersecurity into the culture and behaviours of your organisation. It’s all about making sure we are providing our people with the appropriate digital skills that will instill and sustain the right behaviours across our workforce…whether you’re in the boardroom or on the frontline…on a continuing and engaging basis. The challenge remains how we can truly engage our workforce so they feel they have the know-how, confidence and motivation to do the right thing at the right time in the face of growing and ever-changing cyber threats. Keep it appropriate and short Nugget based (microlearning) training that’s aligned to your particular risks assist in giving simple, practical advice quickly and concisely Demystify cybersecurity through plain English to explain the risks we all face at home and at work A managed campaign that provides regular refreshers and reminders (online and offline) work well in reinforcing behaviours and building collaboration Offer training that’s aligned with the tasks your people perform as part of their job Make sure you track adoption rates, progress against your targets and to identify common gaps in your people’s understanding Use gamification and other new training techniques to immerse yourselves in recognizable scenarios, like games, to grow understanding and memory retention Involve your people in finding out what’s working and not working so well in your campaign.
