5. How to Set Up a Security
Awareness Program in a Healthcare Environment
Now you have the buy-in from your
extended team, you need to think about the co-ordination and setting up of your
training program. Security awareness programs don’t have to be complicated to
arrange. Automation is the key to success in managing these types of
operations. Security awareness is a program that has to cater for a wide
demographic. To ensure the effectiveness of security awareness training it
needs to be palatable – with usability and accessibility of the training
modules being key. It also has to have to have a high degree of reinforcement
through continued and regular training sessions that closely mimic real-life
security scenarios. Security awareness programs specifically designed to help
you make the process of on-boarding and engagement in your awareness training
as easy as possible. Enrollment and customization are key features of an
effective program. Being able to enroll your users and start security awareness
training from a centralized cloud management interface makes it easy to set up
a training program. It also gives you effective administration for continued
training.
Automation then kicks in and starts the
training, serving the training modules to your user base in a way that is
easily digestible and that engages, even the least technical of your team. To
summarize, the prerequisites for setting up an effective security awareness
training program are:
- Easy
enrollment
- Good
choice of modules to create tailored training packages for staff
- Automation
of training packages to user base
- Continuation
and repetition of the tailored packages
- Reporting
and analysis to continually improve education
