How to make employees learn cybersecurity?

1 points by dkozyatinskiy 2 months ago · 6 comments · 1 min read


Here is one of the lessons I learned while founding my previous B2B e-learning company: employees would rather NOT learn cybersecurity. What they actually want is to finish with their mandatory training (dropped on them by that compliance officer guy from the second floor) as soon as possible and get back to their actual job.

So, what they do is click “next”, “next”, “next” or scroll TikTok while the learning video is playing, absorbing none of the information. As a result, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of security breaches occur in enterprises every year.

Solution: short, highly interactive exercises without unnecessary information that actually engage employees by letting them immerse themselves in the experience rather than passively telling them what happened to another person.

WDYT?

If I were you, I'd ask...

1. Why hasn't anyone come up with a solution already? It's not something ground-breaking.

2. Which individual person is actually suffering from the problem you're trying to solve? Have you spoken to them? Are they desperate enough to pay for a better solution?

You might discover that businesses are ok with the cost of security breaches, and the existing training is just a tick-box :)

The latest powerful AI tech offers a great solution.

You force them all to install OpenClaw on their most essential /personal/ device.

And award a bonus to the one that survives longest.

    Great idea! Though sometimes it feels like they still will not care even if OpenClaw posted all their credentials to their Facebook feed...

      Good point. But then at least that result will inform the company when all its credentials get posted to Facebook...

        True :D

          Seriously though, I cannot imagine know how training can ever sufficienty equip humans against computers, given the latter seem to be inherently insecure. Take one of the most common leak paths: email with BBC addresses put in To in error, or confidential attachment dropped in in error. Really, why is this still a thing?
