Cybersecurity training and education organization Infosec Institute has launched new free educational resources designed to help organizations and their employees level up their cybersecurity chops during Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) in October.
The organization is providing what it calls a comprehensive security awareness and training toolkit that features a training module for all employees, an employee assessment to help identify security awareness training needs, promotional media focused on key security behaviors, an educational screensaver focused on recent data breaches and an employee presentation about the program.
According to Infosec, the organization will release additional complimentary resources as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month approaches. Those additional resources include a hands-on skills challenge, a training webinar for security awareness administrators and discounts on instructor-led boot camps.
All Infosec NCSAM resources are powered by the Infosec IQ and Infosec Skills security education platforms designed to spread awareness to end users and upskill and certify cybersecurity professionals, respectively.
“For organizations and individuals everywhere, securing data and systems is no game. As the threat landscape grows, education and training must grow to meet it,” said Jim Chilton, Infosec general manager and CIO of parent company Cengage. “National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an opportunity to build excitement and momentum within organizations around cyber education that employees can use to protect themselves at work and home. Infosec is pleased to offer these free resources to make training accessible and engaging for everyone.”
