Frequently Asked Questions
Cybersecurity awareness training in education is a program designed to educate and inspire behavior change among students, faculty, and staff. It enables them to identify and mitigate risks, prevent data breaches, and protect the institution’s reputation.
Colleges and universities need to implement cybersecurity awareness training into their curriculum to provide students and faculty with the knowledge to protect themselves and the institution. By educating others on best practices, institutions can strengthen their overall cybersecurity defense.
Cybersecurity awareness training is essential for all, but it looks different depending on the demographic. K-12 training focuses more on foundational online safety, enabling others to be responsible digital citizens. In contrast, higher education training is typically more specialized, covering advanced topics and managing complex risks.
At NINJIO, we encourage students and faculty to participate in cybersecurity awareness training by using the power of engaging Hollywood storytelling, social engineering education, and adaptable personalization. Our technology provides an Emotional Susceptibility Profile for each user, which directs their training to make it as effective as possible.
Higher education institutions should run phishing simulations that match their academic calendar. Teachers and staff should receive monthly simulations during the school year. These cadences avoid excessive simulation burnout while fostering a security-first culture.
