Why does security awareness training change behaviour?

Effective training combines knowledge, recognition and practice (phishing simulations). Short monthly modules work better than annual sessions because repetition anchors behaviour.

How do I measure the effectiveness of my awareness programme?

Use phishing click rate as a behavioural measure, track knowledge quiz scores, and monitor the number of suspicious email reports. A drop in click rate over 6 months is a reliable indicator.

How does 2LRN4 support behaviour change?

2LRN4 links risk-based modules (per threat type) to phishing simulations and reporting. Managers see at department level how behaviour develops.
