ACHIEVE: Strengthen Security Behaviour and Organisational Resilience
The goal of Information Security & Cyber Security Training is not simply course completion.
It is to strengthen how people recognise risk, protect information, follow secure practices and respond appropriately.
Depending on the role and program objective, capability development may support:
- Stronger Security Awareness
- Improved Security Behaviour
- Better Protection of Organisational Information
- Faster Recognition of Suspicious Activity
- Improved Incident Reporting
- Better Secure-Working Practices
- Stronger Security Decision-Making
- Better Vulnerability Management
- Improved Threat Detection
- Stronger Incident Response Capability
- Better Security Governance Awareness
- Improved Secure Development Practices
- Stronger Cyber Risk Understanding
The focus shifts from: "Have employees completed security training?" to: "Can employees and security professionals apply the right security practices when it matters?"
