weaknesses, tailors educational content to different roles and responsibilities within the company, and accounts for behavioral differences. For example, some employees may be more curious than others, which increases the likelihood that they will click on a corrupt link in a phishing email. Others may be more fearful, which cybercriminals could exploit to coerce them into providing sensitive information or access. When companies focus on these individual characteristics, they will simultaneously provide the individual assistance employees need while capturing their attention with content that’s hyper-relevant to their specific circumstances. Workplace education should never be an imposition It’s common for emails and other prompts about workplace training to include the word “mandatory,” along with a demand for employees to complete the course by a specific date. At a time when employees are asking for professional development and educational programs, this is a tremendous wasted opportunity. Ninety-three percent of companies are concerned about employee retention, and the top strategy they’re deploying to improve retention is providing learning opportunities. However, if training content is monotonous and disengaging, employees will view it as a chore instead of a benefit. According to Gallup, around one-in-five employees say they’re engaged at work – a situation which has led to huge decreases in morale and productivity around the world. Gallup reports that key elements of engagement include the availability of “opportunities to learn and grow” and the encouragement of employee development. This is yet another reminder that the evidence for the value of workplace education is overwhelming, and it demonstrates that training should never be forced on employees. Rather, training is a mutually beneficial way to help employees pursue their professional aspirations while creating a more capable corporate workforce. The incentives to develop a personalized and engaging educational platform have never been clearer, and companies should be capable of articulating these incentives to their workforces. By getting all stakeholders on board with your workplace training program, you will ensure that this program leads to long-term behavioral change while increasing employee loyalty and productivity along the way.

8 Tips for Best Results in Red-Teaming By Zac Amos, Features Editor, ReHack In cybersecurity, a red team exercise is a unique way to ensure businesses can respond to cyberattacks appropriately. While it’s generally beneficial, taking extra steps can ensure they get the best results. What Is a Red Team Exercise? Red-teaming is the practice of using ethical hackers to intentionally attack internal software. The purpose is to see how the company’s cybersecurity — or blue — team would react to a real-world security threat. While it’s similar to a penetration test, no employee has advance notice, targets are variable and the “attackers” test all systems simultaneously. They use various tools to mimic an attacker’s movements, including system reconnaissance, vulnerability exploitation and data exfiltration. The process provides an organization with a life-like simulation, accurately informing them of potential risk areas. How can businesses get the most out of their red team exercise?
