Trending social engineering test results over time provides a direct measure of how well employees are applying the security awareness training to identify and resist social engineering attacks. Monitoring the success or failure rates of simulated social engineering tests helps gauge the impact of the training on employees' ability to recognize and respond to security threats. This evidence is more specific and directly related to the training's effectiveness compared to other options such as general surveys, the number of security incidents, or third-party penetration test results.
Results of a social engineering test: A social engineering test can demonstrate the effectiveness of the training to a certain extent, but it cannot be the best evidence of the training's effectiveness. Social engineering tests are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and detect vulnerabilities, but they do not provide a comprehensive evaluation of the employees' knowledge and understanding of the security policies.
Trending of social engineering test results would provide the best evidence of the effectiveness of mandated annual security awareness training. Social engineering tests, such as phishing simulations, directly measure how well employees can recognize and respond to the types of security threats that the training is designed to address. By analyzing the trend over time, an organization can assess whether employees are improving in their ability to identify and avoid social engineering attacks, which would indicate the training's effectiveness.
Trending of social engineering test results provides direct feedback on how well all employees are able to recognize and respond to simulated phishing emails, malicious links, or other social engineering tactics. Other hand, randomly selected employees survey does not provide the actual result.
So the answer will be A surely
B. Surveys completed by randomly selected employees: Surveys completed by randomly selected employees can provide the best evidence of the training's effectiveness. Surveys can be designed to assess employees' knowledge, understanding, and application of the security policies taught during the training. Randomly selecting employees ensures that the sample is representative of the entire population of employees, which increases the validity of the results. Surveys can also be conducted periodically to track changes in employees' knowledge and behavior over time.
Therefore, option B, surveys completed by randomly selected employees, is the best evidence of the training's effectiveness as it provides a comprehensive evaluation of the employees' knowledge and understanding of the security policies.
