Suggested Answer: The Answer: security awareness training is to modify employees behaviour and attitude towards towards enterprise's security posture. 🗳️
Security-awareness training is performed to modify employees behavior and attitude toward security. This can best be achieved through a formalized process of security-awareness training.
It is used to increase the overall awareness of security throughout the company. It is targeted to every single employee and not only to one group of users.
Unfortunately you cannot apply a patch to a human being, the only thing you can do is to educate employees and make them more aware of security issues and threats. Never underestimate human stupidity.
