Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness training has always been crucial. Evolving threats and shifting compliance regulations make keeping up with relevant content a constant challenge. Due to poor execution, security awareness training has unfortunately fallen short for most organizations. Many companies simply don’t see the results they should gain from an informed workforce because they have often applied a check-the-box approach.

Overview & Key Differentiators

As an innovative, authentic leader in the field of information security, and being an integrated security partner, VerSprite doesn’t apply a one-size fit all solution for our clients. We develop content and training based upon the culture, time, and availability of the employees receiving the training. The way we execute Security Awareness training is via a tailored approach. From gamified versions, to modular classroom styles, to topical and relevant LMS content, to Capture the Flag (CTF) exercises that demonstrate security testing patterns – we can build a training regimen that is not only tailored for you but that is integrated within various workflows for different groups. Our end goal is to demonstrate and measure how an informed workforce, knowledgeable about today’s cyber related attacks and threat motives, can operationalize security versus treating it as something that only one group should have responsibility for. Let us know how we can tailor some of the below mentioned for your specific needs.

Corporate security awareness training frequently makes the trainee responsible for understanding the relationship between security principles and job function to corporate policy. Over the years, many organizations have invested in computer-based training (CBT), Learning Management Systems (LMS), or even trainer-led, classroom-style security seminars. Most of these solutions are generic, high-level, and ineffective in truly relating to an employee’s day-to-day work efforts for their role. There has been little integration between content and organizational goals.

This is a common problem, but VerSprite has a solution -an integrated approach. We incorporate security governance into security training so trainees can understand corporate policies’ purpose, learn about real-world examples, and comprehend the benefits of adhering to guidelines and standards.

Modular Security Awareness Training

VerSprite brought modular security awareness training to the security industry nearly a decade ago. After seeing uniform group training for diverse company officials across IT, development, compliance, operational, sales, and executives, VerSprite began offering modular training options tailored by role or function. Some simple examples are below:

HR employees must understand how to better enforce corporate security policies across their organization without infringing on goals for organizational behavior and workplace culture. They also need to be able to communicate how HR incidents and changes in corporate unity can lead to tell-tale signs of insider threats.
Sales and Marketing teams must understand that social engineering artists commonly target them to gain domain credentials. Teaching these groups common ploys that present seemingly believable business cases is an important safeguard.
Developers/Engineers are building new and exciting products for the company. Considering infrastructure, network, application, and system security fundamentals can go a long way, mainly if your dev teams and engineers work with unique frameworks and languages.

Secure Development Training

Knowing how to write secure code hinges on several factors: understanding security classes within a development framework and defending against technical exploit patterns. VerSprite provides a variety of secure development techniques to help developers improve the security posture of their software. Our formats range from security training exercises with hands-on labs and hackathons to language-specific training courses each developer can take independently.

When coupled with VerSprite’s OffSec services, we can track improvements in systemic flaws and insecure development practices that were being repeated on a suite of tested applications. This approach ensures the best return on investment (ROI) for secure development training in the developed software.

Security Testing Training

As an added option VerSprite can integrate its security testing into your development teams’ software development lifecycle process. Point-in-time security testing models may be too slow for many mobile product development groups, and as a result, we have successfully integrated a security testing practice that is highly integrated into our clients’ workflows.
