According to a recent TalentLMS survey on the state of cybersecurity training, 61% of employees who took cybersecurity training failed a basic test.

Offering perfunctory cybersecurity training just to tick a box does not help employees build healthier habits and leaves companies exposed to cyberattacks and phishing scams.

What is about the way most companies currently conduct their cybersecurity training that doesn't work? And how can organizations effectively engage today's employees in cybersecurity training to reduce instances of cyberattacks?

An accessible training language is the first step in making any kind of training stick.

Another unfortunate side-effect of relying too heavily on industry jargon during training is that makes the average employee unable to see how this training could relate to their daily job operations.

Even if your primary training content delivery is videos incorporating different elements into them can help engage all types of learners in training materials.
