ABSTRACT

Anthony has provided thousands of staff with security awareness training and during this webinar, he will talk a little bit about what he learned and how anybody can implement a security awareness program.


The first half of the presentation will start by explaining what a Security Awareness program entails and why it is essential to an organization. This will be followed up by some tips and processes recommended to be implemented company wide before implementing a program.


The second half of the presentation will be a lot more practical as we will go over some free tools that anybody can use to begin building a security awareness program for free now! E.g. Phishing Simulation, Phish Button, Email Awareness Campaigns, etc.
