DATA SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING
DATA SECURITY BREACH
Our new training program, Data Security Breach, is a short module (~5.5 minutes long) that consists of a short video and 4 quiz questions. The module can stand alone as a short awareness piece or be fused with other topics in a longer security awareness training program. The program discusses the causes and consequences of breaches, as well as the importance of early detection and reporting anything suspicious to one’s organization.
There is an epidemic of data breaches these days, and the damage and costs from breaches continue to rise.
Most data breaches are readily preventable. After reviewing more than 1,000 data breaches, one study found that more than 90% of them could have been avoided.
According to a survey, “42% of respondents said security education and awareness for new employees played a role in deterring potential attacks.“ In another poll, 77% of IT professionals said that the workforce was weakest link in data security.
Workforce awareness thus plays a crucial role in preventing breaches. Workforce awareness also helps to detect breaches early on, which is key to mitigating the harm. According to a study, it takes an average of 229 days to discover a hacking attack. A New York Times article aptly stated:
A bleak recap: In the last two years, breaches have hit the White House, the State Department, the top federal intelligence agency, the largest American bank, the top hospital operator, energy companies, retailers and even the Postal Service. In nearly every case, by the time the victims noticed that hackers were inside their systems, their most sensitive government secrets, trade secrets and customer data had already left the building.
Our Data Security Breach training program can help. The more aware and vigilant the workforce, the fewer individuals who might do something careless and the more individuals who might detect a breach early on.

About TeachPrivacy and Our Training Philosophy
TeachPrivacy was founded by Professor Daniel J. Solove, the leading expert on privacy and data security law. He is deeply involved in the creation of all training programs because he believes that training works best when made by subject-matter experts and by people with extensive teaching experience.
According to Professor Solove: “Great training isn’t about slickness or tricks. It is about teaching. The goal is to make people understand, care, and remember. Great training is made with genuine passion – to make people love training, it must be made with love. Excellent substance is essential. The material must be explained clearly, understandably, and concretely. The content must be short and to the point – and it must be engaging. Slickness and gimmicks can’t compensate for lackluster substance.”
TeachPrivacy provides privacy awareness training, information security awareness training, phishing training, HIPAA training, FERPA training, PCI training, as well as training on many other privacy and security topics.
Professor Solove is a law professor at George Washington University Law School.
