Acronis Launches Cyber Security Awareness Training

Acronis Cyber Security Awareness Training is the new addition to the Acronis security stack. It's there to help clients become even more secure by helping individuals learn security best practices to prevent data breaches.

Why do businesses need cyber security awareness training?

The 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found that 68% of data breaches were due to human error. Cyber security awareness training reduces human error as employees have more confidence to spot and report malicious-looking emails. This also quickens incident response and saves data breach costs. Your end users are reassured, too, as they can have peace of mind that data is in safe hands.

Cyber security awareness training is also required for regulations and frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001.

What does Acronis Cyber Security Awareness Training include?

Acronis Security Awareness Training educates employees to recognise and avoid phishing attempts but also makes learning about security fun. With the boredom and dullness removed from training, you can ensure course completion, and reduce security incidents with the short, digestible courses. Here are just some of the features and benefits:

• Phishing exercise games that train employees on how to respond to risks within suspicious emails.
• Simulate phishing in a way that mimics real-life social engineering.
• Feature frequent updates so course material and experiences stay fresh.
• New videos are sent automatically to employees every month, keeping them informed of the latest security threats.
• The learner’s console guides employees with engaging visuals as they advance along their assigned learning path. Employees have an easy-to-navigate dashboard where they can view their assigned and completed training, certificates earned, and policies for review, all in one location.
