Are You Prepared: Cyber Security Awareness Training

In today’s digital world, the biggest cybersecurity threat isn’t always a hacker—it’s often an untrained employee.

From phishing emails to weak passwords, human error continues to be a leading cause of data breaches across all industries. And while investing in firewalls and antivirus software is critical, technology alone isn’t enough to protect your business.

At Remington Computer Services, we believe that cybersecurity awareness training is one of the most effective tools to defend against cyber threats. Here’s why it matters—and how to make sure your organization is truly prepared.

Why Cybersecurity Awareness Training Matters

Human Error Is the Weakest Link
According to numerous industry reports, the majority of cyber incidents involve some form of human mistake—whether it’s clicking on a malicious link, falling for a phishing scam, or using a compromised password. Awareness training helps employees recognize and avoid these risks before they lead to a breach.

Cyber Threats Are Evolving
Cybercriminals are constantly adapting their tactics. New forms of social engineering, ransomware, and credential theft appear every day. Ongoing training ensures your team stays informed about the latest threats and knows how to respond.

Compliance and Liability
Many industries are now subject to regulations that require cybersecurity training. Whether you’re in healthcare, finance, or professional services, regular employee education helps meet compliance standards and reduces liability in the event of an incident.

It Creates a Security-First Culture
Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a company-wide responsibility. Awareness training builds a culture of accountability where employees become active participants in protecting the organization’s data and systems.

What Should Cybersecurity Awareness Training Include?

An effective training program should cover:

• Phishing and email scams
• Password hygiene and multi-factor authentication
• Safe internet and social media use
• Data privacy best practices
• Device security (including mobile and remote work practices)
• Incident response protocols

At Remington Computer Services, we customize cybersecurity awareness training to fit your organization’s needs—delivering relevant, up-to-date content that keeps your team engaged and informed.

Training Isn’t a One-Time Event

Cybersecurity isn’t static—and neither should your training be. Annual or semi-annual refreshers, simulated phishing tests, and interactive learning modules are key to reinforcing best practices and keeping security top of mind.

Is Your Team Prepared?

If your employees aren’t trained, your organization is exposed. Cybersecurity awareness training is a small investment that can prevent major losses—financial, operational, and reputational.

At Remington Computer Services, we help businesses build smarter, safer teams through tailored training, policy development, and proactive cybersecurity solutions.
