Organizations face persistent challenges in building effective security awareness programs. Human error continues to be a primary attack vector, with compromised credentials and social engineering attacks continuing to breach defenses. Success requires moving beyond compliance-focused approaches to create programs that genuinely engage employees and modify behavior.

Effective awareness strategies rest on four foundations: tailored content that addresses department-specific risks, omnichannel delivery that meets users where they are, consistent cadence that maintains visibility, and measurable frameworks that demonstrate impact. Organizations must leverage behavioral psychology through nudges and gamification, while integrating real-time guidance at critical moments.

This video lesson, taught by Gaspard Droz, CEO at Mantra, a CyberGuru Company, will cover:

• Building programs on risk analysis rather than generic templates;
• Using social dynamics and reward systems to drive participation;
• Implementing early onboarding assessments and peer testimonials.
