Webroot® Security Awareness Training
Easily maximize your ability to secure your business and employees.
What is security awareness training?
Security awareness training is a proven educational approach for improving risky employee IT behaviors that can lead to security compromises. Through the efficient delivery of relevant information and knowledge verification on subjects including information security, social engineering, malware, and industry-specific compliance topics, security awareness training increases employee resilience to cyber attacks at home, on the move, and at the office.
By participating in security awareness training, employees learn to avoid phishing and other types of social engineering cyberattacks, spot potential malware behaviors, report possible security threats, follow company IT policies and best practices, and adhere to any applicable data privacy and compliance regulations (GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.)
Why businesses need security awareness training
As cyber security threats continue to evolve, security awareness training helps businesseses decrease help desk costs, protect their reputation and secure their overall cybersecurity investment.
Webroot makes it easy to implement an ongoing training program that significantly reduces the risk of security breaches through phishing simulations based on real-world attacks and training that covers relevant security and compliance topics.

Current, relevant and effective education
Training on an ongoing and continuous basis ensures employees are kept up to date on the latest methods of attack, so they stay informed and you stay out of any headlines. Webroot is constantly developing, adapting and adding new training content at least monthly and often more frequently.

Auto-enrollment means setting relevant and ongoing training programs for starters or any group of employees is straightforward and less time-consuming.
