Infosec Institute – Career Path Online Training
Hiring, and retaining, skilled infosec and cybersecurity experts is challenging. As is keeping general staff members informed about the latest phishing, ransomware, and other malware attacks that might appear in their email or messaging apps. You can deploy the best security infrastructure available, and keep it up to date, but if the people within an organisation are not cybersecurity aware, then they might fall for a phishing email if one lands in their inbox.
Making continuous skills and awareness training for staff available will help protect organisations. Also providing ongoing cybersecurity updating skills for IT and Security staff is an essential component in helping keep them happy in their jobs, and so aid retention.

Infosec IQ
Providing users with cybersecurity awareness training can turn your workforce into part of your security solution. The Infosec IQ series of training resources offers over 700 online, on-demand, training courses. These are of varying lengths, in various styles, and multiple languages so that your staff can find the style that suits their learning style. The content available includes interactive training modules, microlearning videos, assessments, posters, infographics, campaign kits, and simulations.
The simulations use messaging apps, such as Outlook in Microsoft 365, to simulate how phishing emails, voicemail, attachments, and messages, can be disguised to look real. And how users can identify them. The assessments allow organisations to compile an overall compliance score, which is useful when it comes to audits and business security certification assessments.
Infosec IQ allows you to empower your workforce from their desks, and their homes as is increasingly the new working normal.
