CIS Control 14 Security Awareness
Hackers consider human vulnerability to be a weak link. CIS Control 14 highlights the importance of security awareness training in strengthening companies' cyber resilience and mitigating human error through education.
Phin Security empowers end users to identify and address social engineering attacks and respond safely and effectively. We help Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer clients superior cybersecurity solutions to comply with regulations and protect their organizations. As a trusted security awareness training provider, we go the extra mile to provide employee training and awareness programs that impress our MSP partners and their clients.
What Are CIS Critical Security Controls?
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls are a framework of actions organizations can take to improve cybersecurity. They are a set of safeguards against cyberattacks that target systems and networks. Many legal, regulatory and policy frameworks reference and support CIS Controls.
Understanding CIS Control 14 and Its Importance
CIS protocols help mitigate cyber risks to organizations. CIS Control 14 states that it's crucial to establish and maintain a security awareness program to shift employee behavior toward being more cybersecurity-conscious, reducing the effectiveness of cyber threats to enterprises.
Security magazine reports that 95% of successful security cyberattacks result from human error. Data security and protection require the whole workforce to be impenetrable. Our CIS Critical Security Control 14-compliant security awareness and skills training supports employees in becoming a strong first line of defense against cyberattacks.
The Role of Security Awareness Training Programs
Training programs help prevent human error and reduce risks. Working with security awareness training providers allows access to professionally curated content. Phin Security focuses on regulation compliance for companies in all sectors, with memorable teaching methods, ease of use and many other factors that make our programs engaging and effective. The modules we teach include:
- How to properly handle sensitive information and data
- Ways to ensure information is not sent to the wrong person
- Recognizing social engineering manipulation tactics
- The importance of not losing a portable device with access to sensitive data
- Using strong passwords and the consequences of weak passwords, reusing passwords or sharing login credentials
Implementing an Effective Security Awareness Training Program
Human error mitigation through education is most effective when the training is simple and engaging. For example, our experts deploy fun training plans developed by SocialProof, which includes talent from TikTok, MTV and American Idol.
Brief three- to five-minute modules include mimicked hacking scenarios and other simulations to help users get inside hackers' minds and spot red flags. We are partnered with multiple industry-leading providers to cover all topics and keep content fresh.
Employee Training and Awareness
Our employee training and awareness modules train workforce members to recognize social engineering attacks. Our training is regularly updated, and we stay ahead by predicting future phishing trends and adapting our training to defend against social engineering tactics, both classic and new.
While some may think training is a one-off event, it must be more frequent to achieve and maintain lasting behavioral change. That's why we keep developing content so users can refresh their knowledge without seeing the same content on repeat.
Recognizing and Reporting Attacks
Security awareness training empowers employees to identify phishing and other cyber threats. Clients can customize templates with company events or information to help employees recognize phishing methods that steal information, helping increase realism. Our program establishes clear protocols for reporting security incidents.
Data Security and Protection
Data security and protection covers everything from locking screens, even if only briefly unattended, to defending against intelligent social engineering. It's vital to educate workforce members on how to identify, properly store, transfer, archive and destroy sensitive data.
Our training will cover this and depict the causes and consequences of unintentionally revealed information. From losing an unprotected mobile device to emailing the wrong person or falling for a phishing attack, our examples and simulations will train workforces to implement security measures and detect malicious cyberactivity.
