Value of Security Awareness Training

This document advocates for ongoing security awareness training, arguing it reduces breach costs and human-factor incidents by reinforcing secure behaviors through continuous microlearning, phishing simulations, compliance content, and friction-free, non-shaming delivery. It outlines the financial and operational costs of neglecting training, highlights what to evaluate when selecting a training platform (content, administrative burden, and pricing tiers), and lists core components of effective programs to build a culture of security.
