A company is implementing a security training program for its employees and wants to ensure they are able to identify and appropriately respond to potential security events as they occur. What is the BEST method to enhance their situational awareness?
Holding routine security meetings to discuss potential threats
Implementing an automated alert system for potential security events
Conducting real-world scenario-based training exercises
Providing a document with examples of phishing attempts to all employees
Conducting real-world scenario-based training exercises is the best method to enhance situational awareness. Such exercises simulate potential security events in a controlled environment, allowing employees to recognize and react effectively to different types of threats. These exercises improve the ability to recognize anomalous behavior that could indicate a security incident, thereby enhancing overall situational awareness. While routine security meetings and documented examples of phishing attempts can contribute to situational awareness, they are not as effective as scenario-based exercises that provide hands-on experience. Automated alerts are essential for situational awareness, but they do not replace the need for training employees to identify and respond to threats without the aid of automated systems.
