Proofpoint Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness Training


Attackers target people more directly than ever, and 95% of all cybersecurity issues can be traced back to human error. Ensure your users know what to do when faced with a real threat by providing them with targeted, threat-guided education. Proofpoint Security Awareness Training empowers your people to defend your organisation with a holistic solution resulting in 30% fewer clicks on real-world malicious links. It has been named a Gartner Leader in its Magic Quadrant for 6 years in a row.

Build a culture of cybersecurity awareness and shape unsafe behaviours

Assess

PSAT Assess

Step one is to establish your organisation’s baseline and understand where your user cybersecurity knowledge and programme gaps are. Proofpoint Security Awareness helps inform your programme focus through knowledge assessments, culture assessments, and phishing simulation tests that are driven by our threat intelligence. And it integrates with Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) to give you insights into your top clickers and Very Attacked People™(VAPs) in real-world attacks.

Proofpoint helps you identify what your users know, what they would do when faced with threats, and how they feel about security. These factors help you adapt your security awareness programme to fit your users’ unique needs.

You get:

  • Phishing/USB simulations based on real-world threats
  • Knowledge assessments
  • Culture assessments
  • Reports that identify your VAPs and top clickers

Change Behaviour

PSAT Change

The next step towards better cybersecurity awareness is changing unsafe behaviour. With our unique adaptive learning framework, you can assign targeted, threat-driven training to your users. This tailored online cybersecurity education helps you drive behaviour change by focusing on your users’ needs and their areas of weakness. And it builds upon their security awareness knowledge on a regular basis.

Integrating with the Proofpoint email security solution, you can provide contextual nudges, alert your users about uncertain emails, and allow them to report suspicious messages using email warning tags. You can also reinforce positive behaviour by customising feedback to users who report suspicious messages.
