LAVAL, QC, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Terranova
Security, the global partner of choice in security awareness
training, announced a partnership with Security Innovation, an
authority in software security training for IT professionals. The
partnership addresses a key business need for many organizations
today: creating a unified culture of cyber security through
role-based security awareness training.
Those managing cyber security-related training at organizations
face a unique challenge in creating a strong cyber security
culture. Different individuals and departments require security
awareness training specific to their roles and responsibilities.
This reality can lead to organizations often using multiple cyber
security training programs to train employees, which can increase
the costs and resources related to these initiatives and blind
spots when it comes to various cyber threats.
Knowledge workers typically require more generalized training
around topics like email safety, identifying phishing attempts, and
strong password best practices. Conversely, IT staff may need more
specialized training around how technology assets can be targeted
and what can be done to nullify threats. However, technical teams
like developers can require training in both areas to ensure that
they're not only securing software and data but that they're not
falling victim to an email phishing attempt.
By asking users to toggle between multiple training programs to
receive the necessary training, organizations may confuse and
demotivate employees, leading to a weaker overall cyber security
culture.
With Terranova Security recognized for providing best-in-class
security awareness training for non-IT staff and Security
Innovation known for providing outstanding security awareness
training for IT staff, each organization's offering will now be
bolstered by more comprehensive content. The result is a seamless
experience for the customer, both from a platform and a learning
perspective.
"Organizations need a one-stop shop for security awareness
training. This training must not only be simple but effective. It
must be able to arm every employee with the knowledge they need to
be cyber aware, regardless of what their role in the organization
is," said Lise Lapointe, Terranova
Security CEO. "Through this partnership with Security Innovation,
we're creating a training offering that can be the one source of
truth for cyber security leaders and ultimately, their
employees."
"Both companies take a role-based approach to ensure only
necessary training is taken for the job function," said
Lisa Parcella, VP of Product
Management & Marketing at Security Innovation. "Customers now
also get to benefit from our joint hands-on, simulated approaches
so they can expect similar high-quality results. This will make the
training process unified, ubiquitous, and highly
effective."
The partnership will provide customers and their employees with
access to a wide array of security awareness training. Courses will
include:
- Methodologies backed by science – Modeled on the
ADDIE approach (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation,
Evaluation), courses will be engaging, informative, and presented
to the end user in a digestible manner.
- Hands-on simulations – Used to determine if knowledge is
being absorbed and applied correctly in daily activities,
simulations are a powerful tool to reduce risks associated with
common cyber threats and related user behaviors.
- The removal of complexity – Stripping away unnecessary
elements, customer success programs help with the roll-out,
learning path creation, measurement, communications, and goal
setting, so end users get the awareness training they need in a
fast and straightforward way.
For organizations looking to take advantage of the new
partnership, Terranova Security and Security Innovation offer one
free year of security awareness training for every three years
purchased. More information Visit www.terranovasecurity.com
