Security education refers to any activity undertaken to ensure that people have the skills, knowledge, and information to enable quality performance of security functions and responsibilities, understand security program policies and requirements, and maintain continued awareness of security requirements and intelligence threats. It is a type of training that provides employees with awareness on IT security, often as part of their initial induction to a company. Security education is important because it improves employee awareness on the importance and requirements of IT security within a business to protect devices, data, and important documents from unauthorized access from malicious users. It is essential to have a strong understanding of what security education is and what it should achieve to develop an effective security education and training program. A successful security education program will attempt to dispel any negative attitudes and debunk any myths personnel hold regarding security requirements. An effective cybersecurity awareness training program should reach workers with varying degrees of technical aptitude and cybersecurity knowledge with different learning styles. The security awareness training program should be comprehensive, starting with rudimentary lessons and moving up to advanced materials. It should also include an assessment process to help organizations identify a workers level of cybersecurity awareness and subsequently create a learning pathway for them.
