Making sure employees have a high level of knowledge around how to handle email securely at home or in the office is essential, but while the IT team may understand how important cybersecurity is, other employees may need to be convinced.

Here's how to get employees invested in security awareness training in five simple steps, according to Mimecast.

Many employees may think security awareness training isn't that relevant to them, as they don't work in IT or handle legally sensitive materials.

Instead of reaching too far for humor, respect that most employees will be approaching security awareness training as just a small part of their busy day.

Not all employees are starting from the same level of security awareness.

The best security awareness training tools will give employees the ability to test out of training with simple tests, such as a fake phishing email.
