e-Learning IT Security

IT security incidents are on the rise – despite the increasing number of awareness campaigns and standard courses. What many IT security managers in large companies already feel is confirmed in everyday life: most online training courses fulfill their duty, but not their actual purpose. Employees click through without understanding why their behavior is crucial.

This is exactly where customized e-learning comes in.

In practice, IT security training courses are held regularly – but the question arises, especially in large companies: are these training courses taken seriously? The security risk is no longer just a technical one – it’s a human one.

A click on the wrong link, a careless passing on of information or a lack of understanding of IT processes – such mistakes are not the result of malice, but of ignorance or lack of interest.

And there is a reason for this:
standard courses often seem abstract, generic and unrealistic.

A customized e-learning course on IT security takes this into account:

Industry and threat scenarios
Different target groups require different training topics.

Prior knowledge
IT specialists already have a lot of prior knowledge and managers have different learning needs.

Technical infrastructure
There are often technical differences from company to company or the incident management process is different.

Languages and culture
Global corporations require coordinated language versions and cultural adaptation.

Such training is not only more efficient, but also measurably more effective. The transfer to everyday life is easier if the content is close to reality.

This is why many customers rely on us as an e-learning agency for industrial companies with a focus on IT security.

Another success factor is storytelling. If IT security is not presented as a technical hurdle, but as a tangible everyday situation, engagement increases.

Example:
During a coffee break, an employee receives a notification with a link to a parcel service. Does he click?
What would happen if someone on the network asked for rights at this very moment?
Such scenarios build emotional relevance.

You can also find out more in our best practices, where we specifically combine storytelling with interactive decision-making scenarios.

IT security is not a single course, but a learning path.
Awareness does not mean knowing the danger – but knowing how to act.

We therefore recommend:

• Interactive learning elements that encourage you to think along
• Simulation-based exercises, e.g. phishing scenarios
• Learning progress tracking for repetition of particularly critical content
• Process anchoring, e.g. with reminder functions or mandatory training for role changes

As an e-learning company with a technological focus, it is precisely this combination that we make available to our customers.

Not only IT security managers, but also HR departments and compliance offices benefit from individually developed solutions. Why?

• Because they receive fewer queries
• Because they can better demonstrate legal requirements
• And because training is no longer perceived as a duty, but as a genuine protective factor

In many projects, we work together with internal IT and HR teams to develop practical concepts that take less time but have a greater impact.

Whether ISO 27001 audit, TISAX requirements or internal protection needs:
Only tailor-made e-learnings on IT security meet the demand for relevance, timeliness and impact.

If you are an IT security manager or e-learning coordinator in a large company looking for a solution that not only informs, but really protects, skillbest is the right place for you.
