1. Focus on the real threats

  • Phishing and business email compromise.
  • Credential hygiene and MFA.
  • Handling sensitive data and reporting incidents.

2. Make it continuous

One annual video changes little. Short, frequent, role-relevant content plus simulated phishing works far better.

3. Measure it

Track completion, phishing click and report rates, and improvement over time — evidence auditors and boards value.

How CyberSigma helps

Our SigmAcademy awareness training and phishing simulations build a measurable security culture.
