Security Awareness & Employee Training for SMBs

Empowering, Preventive, Engaging

Why SMBs Need Security Awareness & Employee Training

95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error. Cybercriminals target small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) using phishing emails, social engineering scams, and weak password exploitation. Without proper training, employees can unknowingly open the door to cyberattacks.

Hackers don’t need to break into your systems when they can trick employees into clicking malicious links, downloading malware, or revealing sensitive business credentials. At Core IT, we provide Security Awareness & Employee Training programs that equip your team with the knowledge to identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats.

What is Security Awareness Training?

Security awareness training educates employees on best practices to prevent cyberattacks, including:

  • Phishing attack recognition – Spot fraudulent emails before clicking.
  • Password security & multi-factor authentication (MFA) – Secure login credentials.
  • Social engineering scams – Learn how hackers manipulate employees.
  • Safe browsing & data handling – Prevent malware downloads.
  • Incident response training – Know what to do in case of a cyber breach.

Core IT offers interactive, real-world training modules that teach SMB employees to detect, avoid, and respond to cybersecurity threats.
