Series: Cyber Awareness Videos
Tired of reading the same stale cyber awareness content? Lacking the time and/or resources to develop and deliver effective security content to your workforce? Strengthen your cybersecurity posture by implementing an ongoing awareness campaign that incorporates short, fresh video content created by the CSIAC.
Each month, the CSIAC will introduce a new video adding another cyber awareness topic to the series. This fresh supply of awareness content will provide organizations with the much needed variety of material to maximize effectiveness. The initial video collection covers the fundamental topics of any awareness campaign, such as phishing, malware, rules for handling PII, and social engineering.
Cybersecurity training efforts are most effective when they can successfully incorporate an element of ongoing awareness. The initial release of 12 videos and the steady supply of new content will help any organization create an ongoing cybersecurity campaign, or complement their existing efforts.
CSIAC releases a new Cyber Awareness training video on a monthly basis. Subscribe to receive an email notification when new videos are released.
