"Security awareness is important for every organization - not just those with big budgets. This special program provides the opportunity to use the best SANS training at very competitive pricing," said John Fitzgerald, Managing Director for SANS Securing The Human.

Your organization is a target and your employees are one of the primary attack vectors for cyber attackers. Unfortunately many organizations, especially smaller ones, lack the expertise and resources to effectively train their people against these growing cyber threats. At SANS Securing The Human we know and understand this problem – and we have a solution that can help you change behaviour in your organization and become safer.

Securing The Human will host the training videos for you in our own Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), allowing you to manage, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Awareness Training for your users in real time. The training is complimented with support materials, including newsletters, posters and screensavers, which allow you to continually reinforce the CBT training throughout the year, ensuring the greatest impact and ultimately change in behaviour.

Securing The Human has successfully trained hundreds of businesses and millions of people around the world – building a reputation as a world leader in developing the most advanced and effective security awareness and education solutions.
