When it comes to getting technical audiences to buy into training, success is all about relevance and interest. If it doesn’t prepare them for the specific security battles they face, they’ll tune it out.
Recent Ponemon research* shows that realistic simulation training and tying training to a learner’s job function are the most effective ways to build skills and improve an organization’s Security Effectiveness Score (SES). By utilizing hands-on training methods in a familiar technical environment, learners can enumerate security risks in a native context. More importantly, it’s the most effective way to measure staff risk and stockpile talent.
This talk discusses methods to train technical audiences in order to create engagement, lasting behavior change, and, dare I say, enjoyment.
