Many companies believe Cybersecurity awareness is based on a single annual training, but real-world examples tell us that it is an ongoing process, it requires companies to know their employees and communicate with them more presently.
Training Benefit
A company is made of different people with different tasks, but there is one thing common to all: they all have a life outside their workplace, and all can benefit from good cybersecurity practices in their private lives.
If cybersecurity is, nowadays, a discipline so necessary across all the different types of professional fields, if it needs a type of training that is more personalized, what better way to demonstrate it to employees than showing that cybercriminals don't aim just for companies and anyone with a smartphone or a personal mail is a potential target.
A phishing text message that (apparently) enables the victim to win a grocery shopping voucher, emails with fake charity campaigns, or a simple phone call using social engineering techniques the list of frauds and schemes is endless.

Sharing stories
Companies should know that passing to employees the importance of good Cybersecurity practices is a win-win situation. Sharing stories and real examples not only of threats and dangers but of prevention and solutions he/she gains a set of practices that protect him/her and his/her family from dangers that sometimes he/she didn't even know existed.
In that way, the company gains from the fact that the employee is practicing more regularly a set of important practices that have continuity in his/her professional life.
The modern company can make employees understand that cybersecurity is a type of security that is getting more urgent to understand, and they can translate to their personal lives the training companies offer them.
