Is workplace training in cyber security working?
We asked the people who took part
For over seven years, Scottish Union Learning and Digital Skills Education have worked together to deliver cyber security and resilience training to workplaces across Scotland. These opportunities have been made possible through funding from the Scottish Government’s Cyber Resilience Unit, in partnership with the UK government.
We wanted to know: What kind of difference has this training made? Have workers shared what they’ve learned with colleagues? Have the courses changed their habits in the long run? And has it helped to make their workplaces more secure?
Thousands of people have taken part in these courses over the years, so we had a fantastic group to learn from. To dig a bit deeper, we reached out to 500 learners who had completed a course in the last 18 months and asked them to fill out a survey about their experience.
We were thrilled to receive 110 responses from learners representing workplaces from the public, private, and third sectors, and from all corners of Scotland.
In this report, we’re excited to share what they told us. You’ll hear directly from learners about how this training has made them more confident and prepared to tackle cyber threats, and why offering high-quality training like this matters more than ever.
