This is where Security Awareness Training (SAT) comes into play. Wingman IT Services has teamed up with SAT leader Phin to provide our customers with unparalleled training.
What is SAT?
SAT, or cybersecurity awareness training, is the proactive practice of protecting computers, servers, mobile devices, networks, and data from malicious attacks. The primary goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to identify and thwart cyber threats.
Why is it Important?
With increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, the importance of SAT cannot be emphasized enough. From phishing emails to data breaches, the risks are everywhere. SAT increases your cyber security IQ while also keeping your sensitive information safe. Additionally, compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI, and NIST often necessitate SAT, and many cybers insurance companies will require training or order to obtain a policy.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
In the past, may have relied solely on IT departments or basic precautions to avoid being targeted; these tactics won’t fly today. Traditional training methods, such as lengthy annual sessions or ignored security posters have proved ineffective. SAT aims to debunk myths and provide practical, engaging solutions.
Types of Phishing
Understanding the various forms of phishing that includes email, spear phishing, SMShing, and QR Code Phishing, are essential for effective SAT. By simulating real-world scenarios, our training walks individuals through the proper procedures and build up their confidence in recognizing and diminishing phishing attempts.
