Webroot® Security Awareness Training

Easily maximize your ability to secure your business and employees.

What is Webroot security awareness training?

Security awareness training is a proven educational approach for improving risky employee IT behaviors that can lead to security compromises. Through the efficient delivery of relevant information and knowledge verification on subjects including information security, social engineering, malware, and industry-specific compliance topics, security awareness training increases employee resilience to cyber attacks at home, on the move, and at the office.

By participating in security awareness training, employees learn to avoid phishing and other types of social engineering cyberattacks, spot potential malware behaviors, report possible security threats, follow company IT policies and best practices, and adhere to any applicable data privacy and compliance regulations (GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.)

Why your businesses needs Webroot's security awareness training

As cyber security threats continue to evolve, security awareness training helps businesseses decrease help desk costs, protect their reputation and secure their overall cybersecurity investment.

Webroot makes it easy to implement an ongoing training program that significantly reduces the risk of security breaches through phishing simulations based on real-world attacks and training that covers relevant security and compliance topics.

Current, relevant and effective education

Training on an ongoing and continuous basis ensures employees are kept up to date on the latest methods of attack, so they stay informed and you stay out of any headlines. Webroot is constantly developing, adapting and adding new training content at least monthly and often more frequently.

Microsoft® Azure AD onboarding and auto-enrollment

Webroot’s Microsoft® Azure AD app is all you need to easily link Active Directory for automatic maintenance of the employees including new starters and leavers. Auto-enrollment means setting relevant and ongoing training programs for starters or any group of employees is straightforward and less time-consuming.

Engaging, interactive courses

Succinct, easily consumed courses increase employee attentiveness and the overall effectiveness of cybersecurity education programs. More than 60 of Webroot’s current training courses take 10 minutes or less to complete and all involve the employee by being informative and interactive.

Regulatory compliance included

Does your business take credit card payments? Is it part of a regulated industry? Then its necessary to educate employees to avoid being fined (or worse). Webroot® Security Awareness Training includes compliance training at no extra cost for PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulations.

Powerful phishing simulator

Webroot offers 200+ phishing templates adapted from real-world attacks which can be targeted and scheduled realistically to let you test and measure employee vulnerability to the leading cause of data breaches: email-based phishing. Our built-in editor lets you modify or create email and landing pages using dynamic variables so you can customize phishing simulations that match your business context to challenge even the savviest users

Easy campaign and report management

Our powerful campaign wizard and built-in learning management software (LMS) make it easy to create, monitor and measure training activity at an individual and business level. Automatically send reminders and reports to ensure every training campaign is efficient and accountable.
