Security training that doesn’t stick, even after repeated rollouts

The situation this course is for

Teams complete mandatory training, but phishing rates and policy violations remain unchanged. Leadership questions ROI. Programs feel like check-the-box exercises rather than culture shifters. With hybrid work, inconsistent engagement across regions makes the problem worse.

Who this is for

Security, compliance, and IT leaders in mid-to-large organizations responsible for rolling out and measuring security awareness across distributed teams

Who this is not for

Individual contributors looking for personal certification or entry-level cybersecurity knowledge

What you walk away with

  • Design a security awareness program that scales across regions and time zones
  • Integrate security messaging into existing communication and onboarding workflows
  • Measure behavior change with clear KPIs and feedback loops
  • Maintain engagement through tailored content and reinforcement cycles
  • Align security awareness with broader risk, compliance, and culture initiatives
