Regular, ongoing cybersecurity trainings are often an overlooked component of an organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy. Your team plays a key role in defending your business, as they are often the last line of defense. In today’s dangerous cybersecurity climate, it’s important to ensure your team understands your unique cybersecurity risks and feels empowered to respond appropriately.
Consider these alarming statistics:
- 88% of data breaches are caused by human error. (Stanford Research)
- 80% of data breaches are linked to weak passwords. (Verizon)
- Even after experiencing a data breach, only 53% of IT security professionals say their organizations changed how passwords or accounts were managed. (Yubico and Ponemon Institute)

Awareness Trainings
Training starts with understanding your business, your team, and your unique threats.

With interactive micro-learning sections covering timely topics and threat vectors, your team will gain the knowledge they need to stay cyber smart and identify social engineering attacks before they occur.
Micro-learning is particularly beneficial when it comes to cybersecurity awareness training — check out Arctic Wolf’s white paper on the value of this learning style for more information. Learning content options can also be customized based on your industry, compliance standards, and roles. Compliance courses can include a variety of topics, including: PCI, HIPAA, Title IX, FERPA and more. Rest assured that PCA and Arctic Wolf will cover everything your team needs to be prepared.
