Watch the video to learn more about Cybersecurity Awareness Training from Defendify.

Welcome to Defendify! The all-in-one cybersecurity platform. The Defendify classroom training video is a baseline cybersecurity awareness training embedded in Defendify. It covers topics such as phishing, malware ransomware, two-factor authentication, strong password health and more. Once classroom training is completed, the associated quiz can be downloaded provided to all employees and then reviewed together as a final step. Many Defendify companies have implemented this classroom training as part of their new hire onboarding process, it also helps check the box from a compliance I.T. and HR perspective and trains employees how to avoid falling victim of fraud or cyber attacks.

This is just one of the modules under our Layered Security approach that work together to give you holistic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some of your questions might have already been answered. Read them here.

Why is it so important for organizations to implement cybersecurity awareness training for employees?

Employees are often your greatest defense against cyber-attacks. Informing and empowering your employees to recognize and respond to cyber threats can help them remain vigilant and protect your organization from phishing attacks, data loss, ransomware, or Business Email Compromise.

Cloud services, remote work, and other recent or ongoing digital transformations introduce new risks that are best mitigated with continuous employee education.

How often should employees receive cybersecurity awareness training?

New employees should receive cybersecurity awareness training immediately upon hire, as cyber attackers are constantly looking for LinkedIn job updates or hiring announcements (especially employees in certain departments) to target them while they’re eager to learn their new job and impress their new supervisors.

Your full staff should receive comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training at least annually in order to keep them up to date on threat actor tactics, the most prevalent threats they could face, and a refresher on company policies.

We also recommend following up the cybersecurity awareness training with frequent microlearning videos to keep cybersecurity top of mind year-round.

How to improve/ increase cybersecurity awareness

Defendify offers several resources to help you successfully implement or improve your cybersecurity awareness program, such as these five tips or this webinar in which we discuss successes and failures of getting buy-in and engagement across the organization.

When is Cybersecurity Awareness Month?

October is designated as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month; however, we believe that every month should be a cybersecurity awareness month with a program of short, engaging reinforcements of cyber best practices.
