Cyber Security Awareness Training for Employees

Mimecast provides a comprehensive approach to cyber security awareness training for employees. Our program includes:

• Highly engaging, video-based training modules. Each module is less than five minutes and provides employees with a clear understanding of the threat, best practices for responding to it, and what the consequences are for the company and themselves if they are careless about security. Topics in our web and email security training modules include a wide range of subjects, including phishing, ransomware, passwords, CEO fraud, information protection and insider threat awareness training, as well as compliance-related topics such as HIPAA, PCI and GDPR awareness training.
• Real-world testing. Testing prior to training (and every six months thereafter) provides data on employees' initial sentiment and evolving attitudes toward security. Testing after each module helps to chart progress and document employees' understanding and behavior around each security topic.
• Predictive risk scoring. Mimecast assigns every employee a personalized cyber risk score based on their testing data, behavior and predictive modeling built on anonymized data from the Mimecast grid. Risk scoring helps you identify your greatest security risks so you can take action to remediate them.
• Customized training. Mimecast lets you assign additional resources for your riskiest employees, providing them with additional training and/or one-on-one coaching. By directing more training resources to your greatest risks, Mimecast helps you stretch the impact of your training dollars.

Security leaders know they need to test employees against phishing — but generic templates or simulations don’t really do the trick. With Mimecast’s SAFE Phish technology, it’s easy to test against the actual phishing attacks an organization faces — “defanged,” of course — so real risks can be addressed far more rapidly and effectively.

By integrating phishing training with Mimecast’s Secure Email Gateway, we capture phishing attacks employees actually clicked on: emails the gateway has already protected them from via URL rewriting or other techniques. Every bad click is reflected in risk scoring at the individual and department level, so you can deliver new awareness training where it’s most urgently needed — Mimecast Awareness Training that’s shown to make employees 5 or more times less likely to click on dangerous links.

Suddenly, it’s easy to implement a comprehensive risk-reduction strategy for phishing: test against true risks, get relevant data, act, track progress, adjust and improve — continually.
