Security Awareness Training Programs

Security Awareness Training Programs: Building a programme that changes behaviour, not just ticks boxes. It is a 53-page illustrated PDF from the oJAYo team, written in plain language and up to date for 2026.

Most cyberattacks involve people somewhere: a convincing phishing email, a reused password, a fake call to the help desk, a payment sent to a fraudster. A security awareness programme helps people recognize and resist these attacks, use secure habits and report problems quickly.

This beginner’s book shows how to build a programme that changes behaviour rather than just ticking compliance boxes: understanding human risk, choosing topics and audiences, designing short engaging content, running ethical phishing simulations, measuring what matters, building a positive security culture and meeting regulatory requirements.
