Cyber Security Awareness Programme Design and Culture Change

Technology alone cannot stop attacks that rely on tricking people, and many African organisations run tick box awareness training that changes little. This course teaches how to design awareness programmes that measurably shift staff behaviour and build a security conscious culture. Delegates plan campaigns, metrics and messaging suited to diverse workforces and languages.

What you will be able to do

  • Diagnose the human risks that awareness programmes need to address.
  • Design awareness campaigns that change behaviour rather than just inform.
  • Tailor messaging for diverse roles, languages and literacy levels.
  • Run practical simulations and reinforcement activities responsibly.
  • Measure awareness maturity and behaviour change over time.
  • Build a rolling awareness programme with executive support.
