Training your employees once is never enough. People tend to forget what they have learned after a few months. Aside from that, we can’t change someone’s behavior if we do not have a better approach to training.
At BetterWorld Technology, we highly recommend that business owners give their employees training every four months. Read this blog if you want to know more.
Why Should You Give Your Employees Cybersecurity Training Every Four Months?
According to a study presented at the USENIX SOUPS, trainees who received cybersecurity training for four months can quickly identify and avoid clicking on phishing emails. However, their performance started getting worse after six months.
