3 Reasons Why Content Libraries Fall Short in Enhancing Cyber Resilience

Newsletter & Blog Artwork-8 (1)

Many cyber awareness platforms boast content libraries that rival the Encyclopaedia Britannica in their scope, offering a wealth of tutorials, articles, games, and even streaming-like video content. IT managers can select lessons and distribute them to employees with ease. However, evidence suggests that this method does little to reduce the number of cyber incidents. In this article, we'll explain why.

Why SAT Content Libraries Fall Short

Clients seek to boost their employees' cyber threat awareness by collaborating with library-driven security awareness tools. But, there are three critical reasons why these security awareness tools fail to create an impact:

  1. The IT manager had to pick and choose content based on past cybersecurity incidents. Unfortunately, these past incidents didn’t reliably predict future threats.
  2. There was no cohesive learning path or comprehensive assessments to verify whether employees learned and absorbed the material.
  3. The content did not provide practical examples of everyday workflow threats or actionable security best practices making it difficult for employees to apply their knowledge.

As a result, the frequency of cyber events remains unchanged, while training expenses continue to grow.

The presence of an extensive content library in a training platform doesn't equate to effectiveness. Genuine behavioral change comes from a comprehensive platform offering personalized, user-centric training.

IT managers solely rely on the library resources of their cyber awareness platform to educate employees, only to find that the vague material did little to alter behavior. Changing behavior is what improves our dealerships' cyber resilience.

To address this, Sedona Safeguard SAT encompasses a radically different approach. We have a structured training pathway with concise, relevant sessions that reflect real-world scenarios and incorporate actionable security best practices. Each stage of training concludes with a knowledge assessment and certification. This approach effectively drives behavioral change by continuously engaging the learner and assessing their retention.
